Default FHA: For Immediate Release

Interesting post, should be a positive for both. Our North American fur industry needs all the help it can get and ranch fur is no exception, it truly is on the rocks. There is a good chance that we will see amalgamation of both auction houses in Europe, or worse yet, lose one.

My understanding is they plan to be operating in 2021-2022. Hope so, I am pro fur industry. No ranch goods, our industry could/would fall on it's face and that's about it???

Lucky for wild there is still China. They are cheap, generally, but we witnessed Chinese financial power 7 years ago with the 90 million mink going for $110 USD all day long. So could be bright, but likely the Chinese are building their mink herds in anticipation

90 million ranch mink gobbled up vs 1 million coon, 1 million muskrats, 350,000 coyotes, 300,000 beaver, etc. It won't go very far
