Bill, Time of year doesn't matter because of the climatrol Tom has in place, and the agressive feeding program.
Visitors are always welcome, and depending on certain factors, you may or may not be allowed to go through the bins yourself. But you can visually inspect the selections they make for you if you aren't allowed to go through the bins. The rooster barn is the highlight of the tour. Wear hearing aids. Tom may conduct the tour, especially if you're a pro-teamer or dealer, or comapny owner. Otherwise, the PR man will conduct it. Tom is busy most days grading and selecting.

Don, What time of year is the selection of capes at its best? Are visitors welcome at the farm? Bill Nick, When I visit the farm, I always make a point to go through ALL the bins, Platinum, gold, silver, and bronze. I find excellent underrated, thus less expensive, pelts in the low bins that were derated because of some non-tying flaw. My best SCB's (Speckled Champagne Badgers- or 'flecked') are silver and bronze grades, because of feather count. DOnO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
