D10 Fur Sale Results
As most of you know we had our fur sale on Jan. 19th. Attached are the results. George Munniksma was our only buyer, so it was more of a walk up sale. The threat of bad weather, and the current market did not help us. However, George did a real nice job spreading some knowledge about fur grading and what he looks for with each trapper, so that information will be very valuable if the market ever rebounds.
Thank you to all who came out to share some stories and have some breakfast.
Next year’s sale will be January 18th, 2020.
