[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1976250, member: 91783"] It's getting to be the time of the year that the pelts will be becoming prime . As we know it's the amount of day light that triggers a change in the hormones and causes the animal to fur up . Temperature has little to do with it . The red fox is one of the early primers they will get prime in mid October . Coyote will be good by early November while Bobcats hit their prime in early December . By the last part of December the canines fur will start to show damage . The temperature and amount of snow does play a part in this fox and coyote will set on their hips in the snow and some of their fur will freeze to the snow and get broken off as they stand up . Also when there is sun shine reflecting off of the snow the tips of their fun will start to curl or look singed and that is what your fur buyer will call it . Bob Cats get docket hard on what is called milk staining on their bellies . I personally like to wash all my furs using cold water and a mild detergent a good shampoo works well to clean the dirt and blood out and make them shine then after they are dry a good fur comb helps with the sale price no burs and tangled fur that way . Take a small amount of water and shampoo and wash the bellies of your cats that have staining on them ( milk stain will wash out ) then after the pelt is cured get your toe nail clippers out wet the fur a little around the teats and clip them off close to the skin or the buyer will feel them and tell you they have mike bellies and dock you . In the past I thought I would try this out so I left a nice sized cat as trapped tagged it and took it to the buyer he offered $25.00 I politely said no I think I'll keep her . I then took her home washed her belly clipped her teats and took her back the next month he paid $ 125.00 this time for the same cat . The fur buyer will get to know you by the way you handle your fur and if it's a good job and all he needs to do is tumble it the price he pays will reflect in your check . [/QUOTE]
