It is easier to avoid a snake than shoot it.
I've lived in rattlesnake country almost all my life. Never a problem,
as long I take some care turning over rocks or logs in the spring, when
the hatchlings are first out. If I could just convince the local bull
snakes to move in on the gophers...
Many western ranches do nothing to discourage rattlers in the barn.
They like the rodents less.

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.
