So yes covid was a major factor in reducing the ranch mink numbers in Europe and the world. WI has been the leading ranch mink state in the USA for a century or more. Lots of small farms with lots of cows and horses which provided for a lot of fur farm food. Also a lot of slaughtering and food processing waste. Bryce

That’s been a theory of mine. Poor populations seem to follow the timeline of covid. I’ve certainly noticed less mink and with higher prices guys who haven’t trapped them for awhile I’m guessing will wonder where the mink are.Of course it could be cyclical and they will bounce back hopefully this coming season. Ranch mink are very prone to disease. Wild one simply because they basically are never crowded or densely populated not so much. Last edited by blackhammer; Yesterday at 06:46 PM.
