Fox and Skunk Farms See Big Money in North Manitoba
E C Tripp of Aulkoman Manitoba runs a fox farm at Clearwater Lake 18 miles north of Banning on the Canadian Northern Railway. In three years he expanded to 13 silver gray and four black foxes on 16 acres with high wire netting and separate breeding pens. He plans to spend 10 000 more to grow the enterprise, betting on scarcer black and silver gray skins. Louis Selberry near Lake of the Woods starts skunk farming, tallying 48 the next year and 400 skins at 4 each last year, with a winter forecast near 1 000 skins. He keeps black skunks separate, claiming his farm may be worth more than Tripp's fox operation.
