Castor prices depend on what they go for at the sale. Last 'educated guess', that I seen was medicore. Green beaver hide????? Well the fur buyers don't want it, nor the fur auction houses, so your only option is to sell it to someone who would finish the job. To sell it to him is illegal, unless he has a fur buyers license.
Well of course I know the Auctions don't want green hides lol
Just merely seeing what the market is like. Buyers who buy give a price and hope for the best, so I thought I would ask what a ballpark price is to see if I need to bother keeping them.

You have a great question I was also wondering that myself. I am having a hard time trying to find that information on the internet. I am new to beaver trapping and I am under the assumption that castors give you a few bucks more. But I am not sure the price.
Thanks keg, I was thinking castors were worth more, but that's a lot better then not keeping them. I used to sell green hides avg 10 - 15 each, but that was over 10 years ago. Probably end up stretching them myself and put em on the wall or something, not too much money in them beaver that's for sure.

Well, beaver certainly won't make a fellow rich, but I think they are worth the effort.
$30 to $40 dollar average at the mid winter sales and top price is quoted as $72.00 at North Bay and $74.74 at NAFA.
Add in $10.00 per beaver for castor and it's better then welfare.
Actually if a fellow can average four beaver a day, it's almost what I make driving snowplow.

Ya if they are better than avg beaver its something alright, most hoobies don't help pay their own way lol. I am just trapping out some trouble critters here and there, just be a dream to be able to trap for a living, at least in the winter months anyways.
