As the days got shorter their fur got longer.

I'm pretty sure most wild mink are not born white and grow to 15 pounds. Last edited by Dirt; 09/27/18 05:15 PM. Who is John Galt?

And domestic sheep, the ones raised primarily for their meat, will do some shedding. But for the majority of sheep, there is continual, year-round wool growth."
