Fur
Harvesters is pleased to announce the following results from our February
20, 2006 auction held in Seattle, WA, in conjunction with American Legend.
Demand for wild fur continues to be strong. Articles such as fisher, marten,
mink, muskrat and beaver are realizing prices that are double from just
a year ago. This is a strong indication of the new found strength and popularity
of wild fur.
