Fur Harvesters Auction Inc. is pleased to report
the following results for our spring sale held June 14, 2004. The spring
beaver collection advanced 15% over June 2003 levels. Demand for otter,
western coyote, raccoon and sable was firm whereas the demand for muskrat
and lynx cat was selective.
Fur Harvesters Auction's summer hours will be Monday to Thursday, 8:00
am to 4:00 pm (EST). The management and staff wish all trappers a good
summer and we hope to see you at your summer and fall trapper conventions
and meetings.
**Averages subject to change due to private treaty sales.
