I just checked and the grades for my beaver and red fox are posted......no link to the catalogue though. My coyote and muskrat aren't showing yet.

Well for the first time in 20 years I've got 4 3xl beavers that graded eastern, every year I ship anywhere from 50 to 100 beavers and never had a eastern grade yet. Pretty cool anyway.

I have two Eastern Beaver as well......#911 and #112. One is a Black 3XL one that I put in that graded XD-DK for colour. I wonder if that had to do with it. The other was a LGE BR.

Top Lots are all *I for LGE to 3XL.

Yup, then we have to wait to see what the auction brings.

Not many #1 in the catalog this year. Little different grading than last year. Just about nothing but #2 in the catalog. My best one is lot #794 it's a select br or dk br cant remember.

I’m a happy camper. Looks to be one of the better batches of coyotes I’ve shipped. The move to only snaring pale southern yotes appears to be paying off.

Best one appears to be lot 131602 XL-LGE *SEL PL 1-2. Closest i’ve got to top lot.

Quick question. I have two lot 190001 and 190003. Are these just the display lots?

I have one in 190002. I think that's why they post them Saturday morning. Guys won't have to phone hot.

Looks like Marty was right about fewer coyotes in this sale. Only 51679 by my count and the preliminary report was for 70000. Hopefully fewer pelts = higher prices.

I think that's when a buyer wants a certain number or color or whatever and buys them before the auction than pays fair market value after the auction. I could be wrong but I thought that's what's going on with those weird numbered lots.

Nafa gets commission just like any other lot. Imo they shouldn't allow it to happen especially on hot items, it's an auction not a fur store.

I can see nafa taking care of a good customer but trapper should get a premium if furs don't make auction.

Agreed. As much as I’d appreciate a guaranteed price, seems suspect to allow a preferred client to partially cover their needs outside the auction room before the auction. I’m no expert but to me everyone should be bidding for the available goods

Exactly that's one less buyer in the room bidding up a product that for now looks like a shortage that's in hot demand.Ive also got 2 in lot 190001 so how many got whisked away before the auction.

I could see it if these were very small sample lots being sent out as product samples etc. But it seems like a fair number of good quality skins made it into these lots. I have 2 in 190001, and 1 in 190003. My trapping partner has 1 in 190002. I’ve seen others asking the same thig on one of the FB groups here in SK. I’m sure it’ll all come out in the wash but at the moment I’m not sure I like it.

Ya but private treaty is supposed to be after the sale and for items that never sold. You can guarantee that these coyotes would have sold very easily
