FHA Fur Auction Results Positive for Trappers

Despite a serious downturn in the wild fur market as of late, the most recent Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. fur sale posted some pretty encouraging results.  Fur prices were still pretty low for some species, but others were impressive.  Beaver averages were pretty low.  Some raccoons did okay, while others didn’t sell at all.  Muskrat prices were very impressive, averaging almost $7.50!  Coyote and red fox actually sold pretty well.

Remember, this was a relatively small auction featuring mostly high quality northern furs.  Still, it indicates to me that fur prices may be on their way to recovery.

The next FHA sale will be held on February 19th, followed by the big NAFA sale in March.  It will be interesting to see what the future holds for wild fur prices.
