Marshall Ferrets are the most sought after in the wholesale/retail market.
Marshall can actually charge more for their kits and get it.  That extra
$10 is enough for the dishonest people to lie about the source of their
ferrets.  Marshall has a reputation for quality and their ferrets are known
and trusted.  An unscrupulous person can take advantage of the good image
Marshall has in that market and sell less well bred ferrets that might not
be as carefully neutered.
 
Whether some people here like it or not, Marshall is the market leader
for a reason.  The reason is quality for a wholesale market.
