Blackglama females led off the sale and were sold at firm to advancing levels when compared to our March auction. Korea was the main buyer with strong support from Hong Kong/China. The Mahogany females also sold at levels firm to March with Hong Kong/China leading the buying with support from all markets. Mutation mink sold amid widespread support with premiums paid for shorter-napped, finer- quality mink in all color categories.

The sale concludes tomorrow with the balance of the Section III male and female offering.

We wish everyone the best success in the coming season.
