    Everyone plucks the belly fur as well mate. Pluck the whole bloody thing.��
    Buyers make shitloads more just handling the fur and don't have to get dirty doing it.

    R93 is right.
    I pluck the lot, tail fur has good weight as well.
    As for blood! just spread your fur out each day and let it dry, handle it and any dirt remove and then bag it
    My buyer takes green skins as well and buys all year round.
