I presume its the dogs doing the work? Does't really sell themselves well with the not very clear ad.

A rat terrier and or a dozen barn cats sure does make a difference on a place. We got down to 3 sickly tom cats years ago, and the varnits overran us. Got some new cats and they multiplied, and maybe 1 in 4 cats will pick out a territory on the farm and hunt it every day. Not every cat is a good hunter, but those that are sure work hard. Took then a while but they cleaned things up quite a bit.

Had an orange cat, man she would light up and make a bee line for the corn crib when I started up the tractor with the grinder on it. She would be there waiting that was her building, and she knew where to sit.....

Had a Tom cat, his territory was the drainage ditch bank, he traveled the pasture fence every day, if he brought a striped gopher home with him we assumed it was his bonus catch, as he would have had the first one he caught in a day.

My very old momma barn cat wrecked her front wrist this summer, she still gets around ok but she can't hunt with speed any more. Her spot was the barn, I see more activity there. Someone is going to have to take over her route.

A momma had kittens in my newest shed a few years ago. 4 of the desendents prefer staying there now, don't mind if they are locked in over night it is their home. Combine and grain truck don't have any damage on them now since that started.....

Funny how critters are.

Paul

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
