KanOkla Fur Company is buying fur this season.

The coon catch has been very large and the quality is becoming poor because of the weather. Coon quality will continue to go down. Expect prices to trend down on coons.

The highest grade of fur is higher this season, but the low grades are worth nothing.

We have orders for select bobcats at high prices and orders for select A color coons at high prices (not all cats and coons fit this category). Average and low-grade at last year's prices--little demand as of yet.

As soon as the season opens, catch coons. Wait until late Dec/Jan for cats.

Fur prices are opening with an optimistic view for the season. This could change quickly depending on Europe's economy. Check back for updated prices and info.

Fur Handling

2011-11-01T08:00:00.000-05:00

You are better off selling it in the carcass than skinning it incorrectly. Skinning and stretching and drying fur incorrectly may decrease the value to zero.

Carcass (unskinned)

Clean dirt, blood, and burrs from the fur (may wash carcass fur, let drip dry)
Keep in cool dry place (if the weather is warm--freeze)
If fur is frozen, partially thaw before selling (place fur on a cement floor for 6-12 hours before selling) The fur should not be completely thawed.
If the weather is above 40 degrees do NOT thaw at all.

Green (skinned)

Skinned fur must be sold immediately or quickly frozen
Do NOT hang green fur
Never wash skinned fur (water on skin side will taint pelts
Keep larger animals with heavy flesh (coyote, raccoon, beaver, badger) 5-6 hours in a cool room or until partially thawed before selling
Keep smaller animals with light flesh (fox, muskrat, mink) 1-2 hours in cool room or until partially thawed before selling

Stretched and dried

Pelts must be scraped free of excess fat (Raccoons, beaver)
Stretch on proper wire or wood stretchers (Except beaver, which should be stretched in an oval shape)
Raccoon, muskrat, mink, opossum are stretched fur-side-in
Red fox, coyote, and bobcats are stretched fur-side-out

Be sure to call before you come, and don't thaw fur until you call.
