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. 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. 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. |
