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.
