Description
Summary:In Newfoundland the production of ranch mink has been carried on, on a limited scale, for well over twenty years. However, during the last seven years, with the assistance and encouragement of the Newfoundland Government, mink ranching has been co-ordinated and largely centralized near the southern end of Trinity Bay. This region of the Avalon Peninsula was chosen for several reasons, the most important of which was its close proximity to a supply of a large variety of marine products. Trinity Bay is a centre of pothead whale fishing and consequently whale meat and whale liver are normally available as ingredients in mink rations.
