We have 8 barn cats on our place. maybe 6 of them will come to us or allow the wife to pet them. I know of at least 3 of them that have survived rattle snake bites and 2 of our dogs have been bitten that I know of every so often we will see 1 of the cats carrying around a small dead snake or a field rodent. I don't care if I have to buy 150 lbs of cat and dog food per month as long as they help to keeps the snakes rodents rabbits coyotes and other pests away.
There is a certain call our guineas make when they find a snake that will cause the dogs and the cats to come running. If I see our 4 dogs and several of the cats all going in the same direction at the same time at a run or circling something I grab one of my guns. Every animal has a job on our place, and I think they know if kill something they have found they are going to get a treat of some kind.
