    New email today from BB.....

    Hi All
    Been a while since we had an update
    There has been lots happening. The main topic I have to talk about is price. This season has seen the fur price hold quite well. It has been a while since we were able to hold prices at this level at this time of the year. Demand from NZ market has been strong and looks to stay this way for the next several months.This has enabled us to negotiate a significant lift in price to the hunter . While we appreciate that it is very late in the season to be doing this we hope that it will encourage you to keep harvesting over the summer months .As of tomorrow (21st) we will be paying $130/kg for all types. This should stay in effect untill the end of march 2019.
    The tourist market is strong ,and a weaker NZ dollar is helping as well. Several of the kintters have strong export programmes that have increased their demand for yarn,all in all good news for hunters.

    It is clear to us that htere are not as many possums around for havesting as there used to be. It is very frustrating to us ( all of the possum industry) that we continue to get very little recognition of the very significant contribution that this industry makes to possum control and the 2050 agenda, Our political leaders need to sit up and take notice.

    On another note in the new year we will be looking to build teams that can get into the back country where there are good numbers. If you think that this is someting you could be interested in contact Scott Candy on the following email address.
    scott.candy@basicallybush.co.nz
    As we develop some more detail around this we will put it out for discussion
    Thats it for now

    Basically Bush July the 4th update.

    Hello everyone a big Hi from all of us at Basically Bush. It has been sometime since you heard from us but we are still here and looking forward to the comming months, A lot of you have been asking what will the fur price will be in coming months ,and those of you involved with the industry will know that current prices are the highest for several years
    This has been driven by demand for fur from the domestic market ,and is a reflection on how committed the fur industry in New Zealand has become to ensureing that value is added here. For the short term we dont expect to see much change,and demand will continue to be strong .I am expecting demand to ease in the comming months with winter stocks being built up ,as with all commodities what goes up will come down. But right here right now hunters are getting the benifit of strong demand and the good returns that go with that. You can expect no change to current pricing untill August and we will keep you updated over the comming months if anything is going to change. There is increased demand for raw skins this year as well and some strong prices being offered . currently we are offering
    1st X large $23/24 2nd X large $19 3rd $10
    1st large$18 2nd $16 3rd $8.50
    1st Med $14 2nd $10
    XL is messured 62cm for base of tail to ears Large is 56cm/62cm medium is 47cm/56cm we will take the fresh or dried. Talk to you local agent or Ph the Tannery on 06 3765884 ext 1 and talk to Mike. If you are down south the contact Robin 0274414257 for fur and skins Rick 03 2497592
    for skins . In the North you can contact me steve.boot@basicallybush.co.nz and we can arrange to collect
    We have traps available in bulk at present contact the tannery for pricing and terms, we also have spare springs and triggers Again thank all of you that supply Basically Bush with you fur. You can know with absolute certaincy that every kilo of fur collected buy Basically Bush is having value added here in New Zealand and not being shipped offshore. Many thanks for your ongoing support Regards Steve Boot

    Just a question, do you pluck the whole possum or just the back. Was wondering if you pluck the tummy and tail as well since the fur on the tummy seems shorter and a yellowy colour compared to the nice thick colourful fur on the back
