Barn cats, well, they are barn cats, they stay in the barn and they are supposed to keep the mice out of the grain bins!  Bootsy the Cat Every cat has it's day? If you've lived on a farm you know what barn cats are, they are usually just on the edge of wild and seldom live long, they breed a bit too fast and they have a job. They're job is mousing! They are supposed to keep the mouse population down, so they don't eat and contaminate your grain.
Every year we get a new batch of kitty's, seems there is always one who just won't settle for being an ol' barn cat and wants to be a house cat.
We can't take 'em all in so we will try to adopt them out, or find them a home. This weekend a little orphan kitty, decided he was going to be a house cat. He followed us up from the barn and pestered us til we gave him some milk.
That did it, now he's sure he's a house cat. Bootsy is really cute, he spent most of Sunday playing with a Pit Bull and sleeping.
He is mostly black with four white socks, (boots). We can't keep the little fella, so if you're in the market for a kitten, let me know. This little guy really likes to snuggle. I kept him in bed with me last night and he just snuggled right up.
This week while talking with some members of The Institute of Equestrian Real Estate Professionals ( IEREP ) a discussion arose about the number of requests we get from people looking to rent a house where they can keep horses.
I've had several requests this year, One fella; Mr. Morgan sent me an email just a week ago. He was looking for a place he could rent somewhere near Harrisonville, MO that he could keep up to 5 horses.
I've worked with rental property on acreage, and the response is tremendous. I get calls and emails like wildfire for the most basic homes on acreage.
If you are in a position where your just not ready to sell you might consider renting the property. Horse friendly rental property is a rare commodity.
I wrote an article some time back about equestrian property management, there is a lot more to it than you might think. There are specific liabilities that you must consider.
Take some time to read that article. http://activerain.com/blogsview/367816/renting-horse-property-and-equestrian-facilities-property-management-of-equestrian-property-
Thanks for stopping by Bates County Real Estate, hope I see you soon!
God it was a beautiful weekend, we hauled the camper down 71 HWY to our family farm on the River near Virginia, MO. Saturday after I had the water, electric and sewer hooked up I took the John Deere down to the bottom-land, where the River meets Walnut Creek.
The River and the creek were really swollen, going over the bridges near Nyhart we saw the Bates County Drainage Ditch was nearly to its limits too.
We lost yet another tree down by the river, seems we lose more trees each year than we can plant. I spooked up a young deer from the brush, watching that cotton white tail bouncing away made me long for deer season this Fall.
Saturday was hot, muggy and we saw a bit of rain, I snapped a few pics of the flooded creek, I took a picture of the deer I spooked up, but he didn't show up well in the photos. Sunday was breezy at first, but the heat was getting more intense when we got out of church. I love visiting the Happy Hill Church of God, Pastor Ron and his wife raise the roof with some of the best old time gospel music I've ever heard. I look forward to going there when I can. Fathers Day is one of those special occasions. After church we headed on into Butler, MO for Dinner. One of our favorite places to eat Sunday dinner is the Flaming Lantern in Butler, MO. We usually try to get a spot near the fireplace. Driving the gravel roads of Bates County, MO I sure saw a lot of flooding. A fortunate few had managed to get some crops in, but so much of the Bates County Farmland was flooded and simply too wet to plow. Some of the cropland in Bates County looked like it had been planted before it was flooded, darn shame all those good crops under water. Bates County has some very productive, rich soil, but when the floods come, there's an awful lot of damage. Guess we can look forward to a great harvest of some winter wheat. Anyhow, if we can help you with your find any hunting land, cropland or a home on the range in KS or MO, give us a holler. 816-313-8876.

Saturday was beautiful, after a day of working hard putting up hay at the farm in Rich Hill, we drug an old row-boat down to Walnut Creek and slid down the muddy hillside into the water.
My Grandson Cody and my Granddaughter Holly sat aft and fore while I plowed away with the old wooden oars. As we made our way in to the swollen river we found the current was pulling us along pretty well.
Shortly after coming out of Walnut Creek, we saw several fishermen at the usual spot by the old Haymaker Bridge. They waved as we passed by, trying to stay as far from their lines as we could. We had to work pretty hard to avoid all the trees and debris in the river.
We rounded the curve in the River into the Bates County Drainage ditch and the current slowed a bit. We passed by some folks in a small motor boat, that were kind enough to slow down and say howdy.
About four miles I figure; by river, we wound up pulling ashore at the Bates County Water District pump house. The new facility is almost done. Mostly dry we called my wife to come and get us. Grandpa Milt Enlow and Grandma Sue Enlow came with her to pick us up. The kids and I had a great time sitting on the toolbox in the back of the truck watching the dust kick up behind the trailer. Don't tell anyone but I actually let Cody drive us back. He loves to drive and I figure if it's good enough for Alan Jackson (Drive) it's all right for this thirteen year old too!
We made the trip of roughly four miles by river in about an hour and fifteen minutes. That means with a little rowin' we rode that ol river at about 18.75 miles per hour.
Not bad for grandpa, but I had some help from the current.
