We have just completed our February, 2013 sale where Ranch Silver Fox met with mixed results. Clips and medium naps sold under strong competition at levels higher than last year. While longer napped heavier goods sold 66% at firm to advancing levels, there was however, price resistance with the medium colored bigger sizes in this group. We will move these fox into our May auction, where we believe we will be in a much better position to achieve maximum results.
