If I take and dump them then they become another persons problem just like mine and I don't want to do that. I take them to a remote barn location that is full of mice and they have water close by. <br />Yes, I would say a raccoon landing beside me would have been something else.<br />Thanks for stopping by.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-89843946241140558782012-03-22T23:29:50.320-05:002012-03-22T23:29:50.320-05:00I caught 8 feral cats one year.

Then, I caught about 6 raccoons another year that killed a hen and tore into my house, landing right beside me...scary stuff. Why don't you dispatch the cat first and then dump it out? It i safer for you.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-20682146596342876982012-03-22T17:35:32.009-05:002012-03-22T17:35:32.009-05:00Those eggs should be real good mamamcmann.

Even the carrots have already started to grow back so maybe there is hope yet.<br />We have decided to go ahead and replace the beans and cabbage by planting two beds in peppers and one in tomatoes. By the time it gets hot then the lettuce, kale and a couple of more things will be done freeing up more beds for more tomatoes and okra.<br />Thank you for stopping by.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-71608355260361486872012-03-22T16:45:54.411-05:002012-03-22T16:45:54.411-05:00So sorry to hear of such a tough week.

It's a hard thing, but probably more normal when trying to 'live off the grid' than people who live in the city and expect everything to go 'just so'. That's too bad about your chicken's fault/crop loss. Hope you get some really good eggs (or meat) out of the ordeal. I almost put out lettuce this week to start - now we have snow on the ground. Lol At least I can still have mine - maybe later. Can you use a 'greenhouse' or cold frame to try the lettuce's again? Good luck with whatever you decide.mamamcmann5https://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048071342369674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-92124954158121451002012-03-21T12:59:11.516-05:002012-03-21T12:59:11.516-05:00I read it Jennifer, it was good.

I am kinda doing the same thing but with one at a time. <br />I caught one last night and have not figured out how to get him out of the cage safely yet. I have had my butt kicked a couple times from cats and do not want to relive it.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-10627156528010971392012-03-21T11:51:45.875-05:002012-03-21T11:51:45.875-05:00Okay-we had problems with feral cats-so I implemen...Okay-we had problems with feral cats-so I implemented a cat roundup---don't laugh, it worked with a bit of patience, because I was fed up with missing chicks etc,<br /><br />http://doublenickelfarm.blogspot.com/2010/01/cat-roundup.html<br /><br />As with having a farm-things happen out of our control, I understand as we are bottle feeding a few kids-that momma rejected. Don't know why, but this is life. I am sorry about the loss of the prize buck-but maybe the roundup will help-either by making you laugh at the image of us doing this...or by an idea you can use!<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />JenniferHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-71760738468651151282012-03-21T08:41:32.341-05:002012-03-21T08:41:32.341-05:00You have much more important things to be praying ...You have much more important things to be praying about than my stupid luck Stephanie.

Chances are it wasn't your fault though and she had toxemia or one of many other things that happen during kidding. <br /><br />Bummer about the garden but like you said get a jump on the hot weather stuff.sistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09568280906820691641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-86704377051386039932012-03-20T22:15:28.304-05:002012-03-20T22:15:28.304-05:00See, the positive thinking is really working out. ...See, the positive thinking is really working out. lol.
