Most North American fur is ranch mink. Please define “most”. Number of pelts? Dollar value? Some other parameter? Just curious. In terms of current production, how many ranch mink are produced in a year in North America?

Mink pelt production in the United States in 2021 totaled 1.44 million pelts, up slightly from 2020. Wisconsin, the largest mink producing State, produced 579,460 pelts. Utah, the second largest producing State, produced 319,690 pelts. The number of pelts, by color class, as a percent of the total United States production in 2021 is as follows: Black at 59 percent, Mahogany at 13 percent, White at 9 percent, and Sapphire at 6 percent. The remaining color classes accounted for 13 percent. Value of pelts produced during the 2021 crop year was $59.9 million, up 23 percent from $48.6 million the prior year. The average price per pelt for the 2021 crop year was $41.50, up $7.80 from $33.70 in 2020.

About two-thirds of furs produced in Canada (and as much as 85 percent worldwide) come from mink and fox farms. In Canada, approximately 1.7 million mink pelts are produced by fur farms annually.

It is probably down from 2017.

12 pages of interesting reading mostly related to a company that keeps it's shippers always confused about what lot sold for how much $$, if their pelt was in that lot, and when do they get their check.
Owned by trappers, ran by trappers, etc, etc...but not tech-savvy enough to upgrade their website to keep their shippers better informed.

I have never been confused what pelt my lots sold in, how much they sold for, or roughly when the check was going to show up. Before the internut, all that information came with the check. Still does. Even now I can find out earlier, but it won't change the end game. Only thing that has been confusing, has been NAFA's/FHA's piece of the action and what buyers actually pay for the pelts.
FHA has made strides in these down fur price years to improve their information flow via the internut. I'm not sure why, since money has to be tight. Ask NAFA and ALC.

Good article,but he forgot all about the Russian fur auction houses. Other than just Sables, do you know how much wild fur and other ranch goods the Russian fur auctions offer? A pittance.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
