North American Fur Auctions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North American Fur Auctions or North American Fur Association (commonly known as NAFA) is a Canadian company that auctions on consignment fur pelts harvested in Canada and the United States. Its services are used by both large fur farms and small-time trappers. Its auctions are held four or five times a year in Toronto. It is the largest fur auction house in North America, and the third largest in the world.
In its May 2005 auction, NAFA handled over 1.1 million pelts. Animal types included Otter, Sable, Beaver, Raccoon, Coyote, Red Fox, Grey Fox, Lynx, Bobcat, Fisher, Muskrat, Mink, Silver Fox, Badger, Skunk, Opossum, Squirrel, Ermine, Timber Wolf, Wolverine and Black Bear.
NAFA is the successor to the Hudson's Bay Company's Canadian and U.S. fur auction businesses, which were spun off in 1987 and 1989, respectively.
Tina Jagros is the Executive Director.
