For those in the know, if you are just plucking the possums you get in small numbers how long can you hang on to the fur to accumulate a decent weight to sell or does it have a use by ?and a best way to store it ,cheers again Scotsman and every one else good luck!

i keep my fur for up to a year,paper rubbish bags help with mould and a spray on the outside to help with weavel's
