Dakota,

I'm not familiar with the fur sales (trade?) jargon... "cleared 40% of my coon..." means "sold 40% of my coon...?" And how is the fur sold? It looks like your set of coonskins were separated into ...grades? sizes? and at auction only some of your grades sold....? How far do you take the processing of the skin prior to selling? Presumably it needs to be processed enough to not rot or degrade, but I thought getting a skin into leather took a heck of a lot of work...?

This is pretty interesting. Sorry about all the dumb questions.



Jon.
