Opening prices are always a guessing game for country fur buyers, this year is even worse. A lot of the fur inventory was sold off during the spring auctions, which is great news. However the worldwide recession and fluctuating stock markets are not positive factors. No one seems to know how all of this will affect the fur markets, it will be determined as the season moves along. Prices quoted are for stretched and dried furs.
Muskrats - large and extra-large - $7.00
Mink - prime males - $17.00
Mink - prime females - $9.00
Raccoon - top of - $18.00
Red fox - top of - $20.00
Coyote - top of - $25.00
Grey fox - top of - $15.00
Otter - top of - $80.00
Beaver - top of - $18.00
Fisher and marten markets will be established later but the prices look like they will be similar to last year.
