Here's what NASA says

My take on it is different. NAFA is being the good salesman. The sale did not go that well. In the cats the high end stuff was down and by quite a bit. The poor goods were up a little which helps me because I have crappy cats, $90 average.
Raccoons had a lot of buy backs and down from Feb.
I had one mink and it brought $31 which is very good because it wasn't.
Otter was where I figured to get the most money but well over half of mine were buy backs and they with drew a lot off the sale due to lack of interest.
Beaver is what everyone counts on here in W WA. Most of mine were buy backs. I really don't know what to make of it I had so few sell, 7 out of 32. The very best sold and a kit and a #IV. Still leaves a lot of good quality stuff sitting in CA. Average on the beaver I sold was $35.50

Any coyote callers out there? The low end coyotes sucked. Pages of coyote lots went for a dollar a dog. Lot of work for a dollar. Unless you're in the northern rockies the prices looked pretty disenhartening on yotes.
