I have a fleet of cats and wouldn't be without them. anybody with livestock, with hay or grain, in snake country, NEEDS a fleet of cats. worth their weight in 22 snakeshot, plus they work in the dark. ? That is pure Bull Crap. keep you place clean and not cluttered with junk and old grain bags, you won't need the cats. Rio7 You have obviously never had a stack of oat hay. I am sure they exist in more moneyed areas. But I have never seen a feed storage barn, hay loft, or feed bunk which was rodent proof.

Reds are DUMB and easy to kill in numbers around here. The problem is they aren't worth enough to take the time to skin anymore and frankly I do like to watch them go about their day (or night). As far as cats vs fox, I can tell you fox are huge chickens when it comes to cats. I've watched multiple cats face down and even chase fox off a bait pile over the years. Here's a blanket I had made a few years back when the price tanked on them. I really started scaling back after that year. It seemed like a waste of a resource to me. YMMV. Agreed These Red's I posted about were in easy range for an hour Just messing around Saw the one do his 'mouse jump' Come completely off the ground on all fours then dive into the crusted snow Rural Utah is just fine T R U M P W O N !

If their population was busting at the seams, may be a different story. When I trap, everything that's not diseased gets put up and sold. Skinned out my share of .50 possum. 50 cent possum ?? what on brandon's green earth happens with a possum pelt ? There is actually a decent market on them at times. There have been years I averaged $5 on them. Had them go for over $8. Also had plenty go for .50

The foxes tend to leave the local chickens alone, I guess they have enough mice to snack on. Plus foxes are fun to watch hunt gophers and mice. Coyotes and skunks don't get a pass.
