today sold 25 oz of skunk juice for $625. i.e. $25 an oz. . 40 oz left and heard another sold his for $30. who`d a thought that. they sure taking their time getting to the wild fur today. I want to get this fur put up and clean the traps and shed and start thinking spring planting and mushrooms and sun and seedlings and my woods and a good cook out. maybe we need 3 this year, one north, one central and one south. ya, that`s what we need.

30% of zero is zero. going to be lots of "stale " fur up there next go around and I think for quite a few years too. at least stale bread you can microwave and make it soft again.

Fur farming should be illegal...as much as I hate to say it. Mink is and always has been the KING fur...everyone knows it...at least to the avg. woman. As long as the fur farms can crank out mink by the millions, there never, ever will be ANY fur mkt. for ANY specie to amount to anything. I used to work at a mink farm...I've handled more mink than any man in IN. other than fur farm owners themselves.
