The Fur Market Bounce

The Fur Market Bounce

Author: Trapping Today March 7, 2021 Duration: 51:55
The bounce from rock bottom fur prices may be in its beginning stages, and as economies around the world begin to reopen and economic activity picks up, the backdrop of low inventories and increased fur demand should be good for prices. In this episode I take a look at some of the recent fur market news and specific prices for furbearers paid at recent auctions. Stay tuned for an upcoming episode on the macro-state of the fur market and what we might expect in the years to come. Support our Sponsors:Kaatz Bros.
