Seems everyone is in a hurry to sell their rats but the way I see it there will be very few late winter and spring rats this year so the guys that are buying your rats for $12.00 now will be selling them for $40.00 in the spring.

hmmm.....i see it more as the rat catch numbers are low so towards spring the prices are going to be high because of buyers fighting for a small lot of rats

There's talk of a COLD winter in China and Russia. Rumor also has it the catch is off and already chinese buyers are asking NFAF and FHA about fur. It should be VERY interesting...
