    I was talking to someone just yesterday about trying to short the odd one and whether it was worth it for the fur. Cant be shagged skinning but if it was 12- 15 odd jackos for 100 bucks I'd definitely have a crack at that if I can find some easy local ones.
    Yep the price for plucked fur has remained over a 100 bucks per kilo for a while now so get stuck into them @csmiffy

    All you need to do is find someone to sell too. Give a local wool buyer a call or basically bush has a list of buyers on their website.
