Sold another 59 coon to Groenewold today, 57 finished, 2 green.
I had them sorted as:
12 4xl
25 3xl
12 2xl
8 xl
2 kits- sold these green, 24 inchers
Groenewold's buyer Tom, seperated them as:
8 @ $16.00
32 @ $12.00
13 @ $ 7.00
4 @ $ 4.00
2 @ $ 1.00
The $1.00 coon were the green kits. The $4.00 coon were 2 of the 4xls with large rubs and holes in the center of their backs and 2 xls which were pretty dark in the leather and poor in the fur. Tom's grade looked to be more keyed to quality of leather than size. These were all 2nd and 3rd week of November coon.
Overall average $10.53. Average with the 6 poor coon out $11.72. That's .99 less than the avg. I received on the 14 I sold him last trip. I know you have to figure every animal, but most would have floated those 6 instead of handling them. I wanted the practice as this is my first year finishing.
Last time I sold, he had a $20.00 top tier. $16.00 was the top today, dragging the average down.
