The popularity of winter clothing made with animal hair has greatly increased the demand for coyotefur. Coyotes are wild animals that are related to dogs and wolves. They are found in North America. Many people living in cold-weather places around the world wearcoats designed with furry edges that circle the head and neck. Many clothing companies use coyote fur from the United States to create these kinds of coats. Coyote fur is a favored choice because it is naturally full, soft and has beautiful colors. A good coyote from the western United States is highly valued and can sell for at least $100. One top price at a recent sale in Colorado reached $170. That was up 40 percent from four years ago.
