My first morning in the new Man Cave!  I love it, warm, bright, fresh!  A nice view out the window.

OK!  Today is a day for rat bids to come flying in.  I am waiting for a call from the out of state guys and Bob is waiting for a local buyer to contact him.  Everyone should have seen the video and the piles of rats posted right on this site last week.

I have had several comments about that story and if I had thought it through just a wee bit more, it would have been just a tad different, but what was done is what is done, can’t change that.

The auctions since late January through the end of March have shown the average price paid for muskrats has been in the low to mid $9 range, Bob and I know we have a higher quality of rat than average so our expectancy is pretty high.  We also know that the market can only stand so much and we don’t want to see our buyer Not Make Money.  We will be reasonable, if the buyers bids are reasonable.  Otherwise we will freeze the hides and hold out for a higher price later on.

There will be more on this as it unfolds.
