Casady Not so much.....many livestocks end up in or around barns fairly regularly. I've known a lot of farmers and ranchers.....they put up with nonvenomous snakes. They kill venomous ones. Besides, most ratters and mousers that I've seen are cats....with the occasional terrier type dog. And if they keep horses, all snakes get disposed of.....horses really don't like snakes. |

Casady Uh, not if they have livestock. Rattlesnake bites on cows are expensive. Livestock are in the pasture. Hay and equipment are in the barn. Any snake in the barn is not in the pasture. Never worked with milking cows, or goats, or had horses? They all end up in and around the barns regularly. Western ranches few to no milking cows, who are not found in barns in any case. They do have purpose built milking sheds, where they do have dairy cattle, in places like Iowa. It's not all King or Harris Ranch operations; there are a lot of small operations out here, and some of them do have a couple of milk cows for their own use. It's not like snakes can't wander into a milking shed, either. As for horses, modern ranches may not have any, This would surprise the smallish horse-oriented operations out here. Perhaps you should let them know that they must be raising some other sort of livestock. although they all have at least one pickup per person. You are about as likely to find a modern cowboy in an airplane as on a horse. Not out here in the central California coastal range. There's more to life than multi-million acre range, you know. |

What the hell they do, take the Amtrak from Berkeley? Damn Bush and his black helicopters, where's my militia alert list.... If we give them Sacramento and Newark will they give us Georgia back? Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Why do we want Georgia back? LOL Good point, maybe we can give them New Jersey as an early Christmas present. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
