    Need Advice for Plucking Possums

    I have plucked about 8 decent size possums and only got about 180g of fur.

    On other threads people have been saying that you only need between 12-16 possums to make a kg of fur.

    I have not been plucking the belly fur because i heard someone say that fur buyers don't like it, is this because of the colour or because it is too short? I have been taking all the fur off the back of the possums, a tad off the stump of the tail but not the nasty coarse hair towards the end. Also a little off the legs and none of the head.

    What am I doing wrong???
