Halvor Ausland, six feet two inches tall and 220 pounds, arrived in the north 37 years ago with little more than a rifle canoe and traps. Now he runs the largest mink operation in northern Saskatchewan on the Macbeth Channel between Buffalo Narrows and Ile a la Crosse, an investment near 150000 dollars across a dozen buildings and long mink pens. Ausland, 54, married with eight children, has pioneered mutations and transformed mink ranching into a regional science while expanding his family business with a son joining the operation.
