We have a bunch of chickens, potbelly pigs, goats, etc.... and the feed is stored in an old out building. My terrier loves to get into that "grain barn" and kill all of the mice it can find. His partner this year has been our kitten, they make quite a team.
When the local builder started clearing the desert behind our property we saw coyotes, up cklose and personal, for about a week as they feasted on the displaced critters. Fortunately, the coyotes have moved on now that all of the small animals have relocated.
