Mustella vison
Mad River P.O., Trinity Co., Calif. May 30, 1933
Today we interviewed a Mr. Felt Miller -
Sheep rancher 1/2 mi. above (east) of Mad
River P.O., who raised mink. He
had mink fair & only two litters. They
were in smaller pens 10' x 3' x 3'
with a box nest at one end. One was
so tame it came at his call and
earned almost be handled. Part of his
stock came from Oregon & part from
Mt. Shasta, Calif. He fed them a
mixed ration of meal & meat (either
rabbit or sheep). Not successful as
a money making venture.
