Posted by CAFF on Aug 9, 2014

The Shultz wildcat farm relocates after oil drilling noise forces move. One of the only known bobcat fur farms in the state has applied to relocate west, in central Montana. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Park is taking comments on the 150-foot-by-140-foot animal facility, proposed by owner Larry Schultz, where bobcats would be housed in separate pens. According to the permit application, the location of the farm (if approved) will be: 5700 Romunstad Rd Roy, Montana 59471 The proposed fur farm is located SW of Roy, south of Highway 191. A few notes on the fur farm, from the permit application: The bobcat pens are 4 feet by 6 feet, with 2 foot by 4 foot nesting boxes, and kept 30 inches off the ground. The cages are constructed of poly-coated 10-guage mesh wire. The animal pens are 1/8 mile from the house. There will be a separate barn that is used for weaning bobcat kitten. A second barn will be used for food preparation and storage. An 8 foot tall chain link fence covers the facility’s north and south sides. This farm was reported by the state of North Dakota in 2010 to house lynx. No mention of lynx is made on the Montana permit application. Either the facts were misreported by North Dakota (bobcats are often confused for lynx), the farm has stopped breeding lynx, or this detail was omitted from the application. The full application is below. Schultz Fur Farm...

More fur farms under construction in Wisconsin

Posted by CAFF on Mar 14, 2014

The fur farm construction boom has arrived. Since mink prices have surged the last two years, we’ve seen a corresponding surge of new fur farm addresses made public. With most of these fur farms, it is not clear if they are new operations, or the addresses have just evaded exposure until now. However, the following addresses are fur farms (+1 “feed building”) that are under construction and expected to open in the near future. The first two addresses appear to be for brand new fur farms. The second of the two, Patrick Fur Farm, is a known fur farm that is apparently opening a second location. The third address is for a new “feed building,” also being built by a known fur farm (TMR Fur). The location of this new feed building is 9 miles from the existing mink farm. it might be considered unusual to build a feed mixing / storage building 9 miles from the farm it is supposed to supply, creating two possibilities: The farm is opening a new feed company to supply nearby mink farms. TMR Fur is opening a new fur farm on this site as well. These are the three addresses undergoing construction: Sinac Mink Farm N1435 Meridian Dr Thorp, WI 54771 Patrick Fur Farm N7097 County Road C Rib Lake, WI TMR Fur Feed Building W4941 County Road N Waldo, WI 49805 Notes: Location is 9 miles west of the TMR fur...
