HERE IS the most recent velvet prices from New Zealand.

Price basis NZ$ per kg
Weighted
Pool marketer NZ Velvet Marketing
Sale 15 16-Feb-10
-- range --

Wapiti/Elk
Super Grades 125 SAP
A 110-AS
B 105-BS

C 101-CS
C 97

Figure these are in Kilograms paid for with NZ dollars

A kilogram is 2.20462 lbs
A US dollar is worth 1.4406 NZ dollars So

Super A Elk ( which well cut North American antler can be) is $110/kilo divided by 2.20462 or $49.895 NZ dollars per lb.

that in turn is divided by 1.4406 and equals $34.64 US dollars per lb.

A very good price for these recent years.

North American velvet will of couse be downgraded due to CWD and everything else the Orient can think of, but still we might get $100NZ per Kg which is $31!

GOOD NEWS FOR THE ELK INDUSTRY.

It very good news. I just hope it can stay there for more than 1 year. If it stayed there it would mean get things for the elk industry. It would drive all prices up where they belong. Thank for the news.
