A fella Trapper told me that a certain buyer isn’t even interested in the quality of the fur and just pays based on weight of all your pelts. I’d be okay with the $16 average that he got.

Sounds like most beaver is getting turned into felt for hats or so I was told when I sold mine. The guy weighed one of my smaller ones and separated them from there. Bigger went for 16 Buck and my small went for 5 buck. All beavers were counted and a price was given. Nothing was graded.
