Mink traps where is cheapest

Other furs like muskrat and otter have benefitted from fashion trends in the past. This can be great for fur prices, but can be devastating when the fashion trends go away. Fur is consumed as a utility in many places due to its incredible warmth, durability and functionality.

The coyote market has been the one exception to the low fur market the past several years. The success of Canada Goose and their high end parkas trimmed with coyote fur has been the sole driver of coyote prices, and this should continue into the upcoming fur season.

Outside of the hatter market, where beaver pelts are ground up and used to make felt hats, the demand for beaver has been almost nonexistent lately, and the spread between low end and high end beaver has all but disappeared.

There is a possibility, however, to see some upside in this market if some of the traditional uses for beaver start to come back in style with fewer ranch mink pelts on the market. With fewer ranch mink on the horizon, we could see higher prices as the season unfolds. Wild mink have been low for a long time, and with furriers often substituting ranch mink with muskrats, it may take more movement in the overall market for mink prices to recover.

Some demand is beginning to develop for the higher quality raccoon pelts that come from the upper Midwest. Much of this is likely driven by lower priced substitutes for the popular coyote-trimmed parkas. There is a great deal of variability in coon pelt, both in size and fur thickness.

Beaver castor — this was a bright spot, as the demand for castor, which is heavily used outside of the fur industry, continues to be high.

This represented a mix of some better quality Westerns as well as the lower quality Easterns. Fox, raccoon, fisher and mink did not sell in any meaningful quantities and were held with all other unsold goods for future sales.

So in a nutshell, the few buyers that needed fur picked and chose what they considered to be the best values, and left the bulk of the fur at the auction house. In order to clear out goods in a basically dysfunctional market, most of the fur would have to be given away, which would be a huge loss for everyone involved in the production side. So here we are. When will we see a recovery? But there will be fur harvested.
