When my Grandparents were here, we had one old Grandma cat that was friendly, then you had to find the kittens of the others to have any chance of taming one or two. We regulated the population with the live trap.
At one point, we somehow ended up cat-free. It took less than 90 days to be overrun with mice. They were everywhere, even running the workbench while you worked! And, despite not buying off-farm feedstuffs, rats showed up! Aggressive control measures were a pain, and kept populations from growing at best.
We picked up a couple of unwanted cats, no more mice. We found ourselves cat-less again about 18 months ago- one son had a friend with four kittens dropped off at their place- we took them all in, and the effect on my wife was unbelievable! She, allergic to other cats and NOT a cat liker, even, took to these babies like almost nothing else. She found an organization nearby that will fix any feral cat for $10 each. Hardest part was putting our friendly kitties into live traps to prove them feral! $40 later, all four fixed and have a clipped ear tip to prove it. The two that are still with us (busy road out front) were hunting in the hay field yesterday, even.
A neighbor's fixed female has moved into our barn now- she and the others aren't friends, but she does earn her keep out there. She stays quite fat, despite minimal feed from us. I would never again be without at least one barn cat.
