SALE RESULTS JUNE 18th, 2013

PRICES SHOWN IN US DOLLARS
FHA Concludes record year with June 18th auction results. Our closing auction, having just concluded, witnessed FHA setting an all time historical gross sales record. This final sale is the smallest of the year and is always viewed as a cleanup auction and an opportunity for a last chance to purchase wild goods. The highlight of the sale was the muskrat auction seeing the entire offering selling 100% at an all time historically high average of $14.27. Never have muskrats achieved such a level and this was made possible by the Chinese market that continues to dominate. Our exclusive offering of Nunavut Ring Seal and bears sold at levels that will surely impress our Inuit suppliers. Also our offering of taxidermy items such as wolves and wolverines sold at very strong levels. We wish to thank the growing numbers of producers as well as the buying trade for making this season our best ever. Wishing you all a safe and relaxing summer.
