I’ve never known a livestock farmer who didn’t keep and encourage barn cats.

I’ve never known a livestock farmer who didn’t keep and encourage barn cats.

There is a semi industry re adopting barn cats. A neighbor to the south of us and one to the north both ordered/bought barn cats to minimize the rat problem. We all live on the edge of civilization and semi wilderness.

The cats work mainly at night, and with the exception of a small invasion rat year have been successful for all of us in the area.

They have been too successful re the wild rabbits and baby quail.
