Wild-caught pelts account for the majority of U.S. fur production, but ranch-farmed pelts are worth much more and account for a larger percentage of annual sales.
Today, the U.S. fur industry is divided into two segments: "wild caught" and "ranch farmed."
The most valuable mink fur comes from the American Mink, particularly the "DNA-verified" farmed varieties. Among these, the "Black" and "Sapphire" colors are highly sought after for their rich hues and luxurious texture. Additionally, the quality of the fur, including factors like density, softness, and sheen, significantly impacts its value in the luxury fashion market.

They even keep animals that are not natural to that environment EX: Arctic foxes in 90 degree weather in California. I don't see how anyone could be so cruel, please don't support fur companies.
