Does bidding continue on Coyote and Muskrat or is this the final result?

[kingrat]

as far as i understood it the bidding was closed on those items, beavers should be up now, otters sounded decent improvement also. Pretty exciting news.

[HunterDave]

Yes, FHA sent me the info here:

Think my finished rats (few as they are) will spend some time in the freezer.

I thought that muskrats had a Darned good POP. Last August was 56% sold and a $3.19 Canadian average. A US $5 average is more than double that. 100% sold too.

Last August Western Heavy Coyotes were 100% sold with an average of $98.73 Canadian. This auction.....100% sold with an average of US $98.52 (about $120 Canadian).

It’s still not back to where it was but......Oooolala!

Any word on how marten and beaver did?

Interesting, pretty tight between average and top. Could it be that in 31000 coyotes offered it was lower to average goods and this means there’s a greater demand for lower goods. Because if you look at results from august top was 100$ more at 281$ ?

Im sure had it been an actual in person auction perhaps you'd see the higher prices for the top ones. Nice ave though all things considered.

Guys looks encouraging when only 200 buyers. Also when you post your prices always indicate US$ or Ca$ at $1.20 makes a big difference.

Glad the buyer ****ed me off made way more than he was offering on everything

[Marty S]

Im glad too!!!

🙃

Which buyer was it? Surely not me??? I make deal unless poopy stuff.... then me not want

[kingrat]

The way the market has been, it's been a crap shoot either way to sell or ship. Last year most guys were happy they sold their coyotes instead of shipped. This year about 50/50. Its nice we have an option now, I personally almost always ship. Its exciting to see wild fur starting to bounce back, especially the items I mainly target. Rats and coyotes. Beavers would be nice if they doubled or tripled in value also. See how my skunks and bears do at auction now....

Wasnt you Marty or you would have known and wasnt what he offered. Long story short message someone make arrangments then not even phone to say you wont make it my time is worth as much as anyones. Coyotes were a mixed bag, and you would have bought them except maybe the three legged one that sucker just looked weird

[Marty S]

In the other buyers defense, i had that happen once or twice this winter, it can get hairy out there, as in crazy/busy. Texting a person again or calling can save your day in such instance.

Rabbit trail

Small bunch of coyotes on this sale, not a lot of western heavy. Point being this is a small collection and the market still has to sort itself out once the bulk of the goods produced this year find homes. I suspect many folks hungry for goods and continue to be but we’ll see where it all lands.
