Ya, just look in the catalogue to see the quantities of each lot. If you inspect the top lot physically then you will see only one coyote sith the nasty white tag in in, but then be relieved to see that it is not s lightweight “heavy”. Then if you ask the right guy/lady then you can find out one Montana, two Manitoba, five Sask and one AB coyote in the top lot, but otherwise ormally difficult to ascertain.

I won’t be able to listen to the auction tomorrow and I would appreciate any updates for coyotes as the auction progresses. I would be especially interested in knowing what lot #703 sells for. I’ll view the bottom line Friday night. Thanks

I go into my account and open the current lotting page. From there I double click on the species (ie. coyote). Then I double click on a lot and the catalog comes up with the lots that I have fur in highlighted. That's what I watch while listening to the live auction.

Works for most of it Dave but not fool proof ...I've got.4 lots that dont come up high lighted ....however as.long as.i get paid for em I dont care .

US dollars, that's pretty good money boys! $300us top pales would have been an even better lot to be in, but whatta ya do, lol.. next year maybe
Happy with the way mine sold, they were up a good bit from last sale, and I thought those were good prices.. good time to be in furs for sure, especially if you're handling is up to par!
Lookin' forward to fall

I averaged 110 usd. I'm very happy with that and I thought the prices were strong overall even some of the damaged lots.

It sure looks like HunterDave was correct. All my coyotes, except one coyote were graded II and I averaged 118 usd. I did even better on this sale then I did last sale, even though my coyotes last sale were graded alot better. I'm super happy. (I sure love that Canadian dollar right now) It makes those long nights in the shack worth it.
Now I hope the Fox brings good money too!!

Gotta admit when I saw the big drop from first lot to next couple that we were in for a rough ride ...leveled off good tho . I see the infamous no color lots were given away again 227 831 - 833 .. glad I didnt have any there . Turned out like the fiasco a couple years ago .... 51 , 52 dollars

We had 5 out of 6 marten bought back, thank God. One XL sold for 49.00 us.
Coyotes were 111.00 us average though. We sold enough ermine and squirrels to fill a small jerry can. Our 3XL beaver was 13.50us so I guess that's not bad, it would have been a fall beaver.

Well turns out Marty's buddy was right. The buyers would rather pay more for junk than more for the best. The top end yotes didnt really improve but the bottom ones sure did wow.

It seems like getting your Foxes sold is almost as rare as winning the lottery. It sucks! Unless there Ranch Fox of course. They seem to be doing really well. Maybe if they sold Wild Foxes before Ranch Foxes we would have better luck.

Well that was worth the wait. Half my Marten and Fisher were bought back but it’s better then giving it away. Now I hope my lynx fetch a good dollar. 🥴

I'm glad I'm not the one answering his phone call Monday morning because it isn't gonna be pretty and he has the right to complain .

I was wondering what kind of answer your buddy got from NAFA when he called ? They probably apologized and changed all his damaged 3 and 4s coyotes for SSL or *SEL LOL !!! What a waste of time for the NAFA employee who had to answer the phone. Tell you buddy that they are professionals graders and they work for us but they also work for their commission. So if they grade a coyote III-DGD its because it's a damaged coyote end of question ! Poor fur skinner or poor fur quality.

I would disagree with this and I think some others would as well. The phone call might have been a waste of time yes unless to try to figure out which of the coyotes were which. Although the grading system does likely have some merit I find it hard to believe that Alberta December and January coyotes get graded II. I believe according to the manual these are over prime or underprime coyotes..and the auction was full of them. I’m not complaining at all because prices are great, but I’m just not sure the grades are always reflective of the fur.

I hang my pelts up on hooks in a row until I get a couple of bags of them and then I free up space in the shed. I could see the quality of fur depreciate as the season progressed after the beginning of January. Don’t believe me? Save a pelt from December and compare it to a February pelt. When II are selling for the money that they are selling for, grades aren’t a huge issue imo. I had much lower grades this auction but an average $10 higher per pelt from my best ever average last auction......1.9% labelled this auction and 20% labelled last auction.
I’m just going to enjoy the ride as long as it lasts and not overthink things.

He didn't get an answer back after the initial contact ,which is really no surprise ...I agree with gooses comment as we both know this fellow and he mostly wanted to k now which coyotes were which in connection with the grades recieved. Pretty hard to get an answer of you dont ask a question don't you think ? I dont blame him for being upset, I saw all his dogs and he had none that should have been graded the way they .
