The highlight of the Albany sale was the very strong prices on otter and muskrats. The overall offering consisted of a substantial mix of stale and marginally handled goods. A springy collection of coyotes, including many western Oregon type skins, sold very well considering the high percentage of rubbed and broken skins. Eastern cats continued to sell strong, as did western cats. The western cat average was held down by several lots of stale and lower grade goods. A marginal collection of beaver, which included damaged and stale goods, sold at very strong levels considering the overall quality. Possum and wild mink sold at advanced levels. The fox offering included a higher percentage of springy goods than normal, but still sold at very good levels. Nutria saw renewed interest by buyers, although the average was kept down by summer and stale goods. The raccoon collection sold well considering the offering included a large quantity of stale and poorly handled goods. A high percentage of the raccoon had springy necks. OTC looks forward to continued strong prices at the Klamath Falls sale later on this month.
