Fox Farms in Yukon Feel Price Drop Hit Industry
Enthusiasm for fox farming in northern Yukon has waned as fox prices declined about forty percent since last summer. Many captive foxes died or were sold cheap, with rare black specimens fetching up to 1800 to 2000 dollars previously but far less recently. Some shipments abroad have reduced local stocks, while mink experiments face containment issues. Despite the slump, owners of black and silver foxes remain hopeful prices rebound in months ahead.
