I get my beef from a local farm as well. The pigs tge reason we don't get atached we dont name them we look at them as food. But we thank them for giving us food before we butcher them.
I raise my own meat chickens, turkeys and pigs. But I don't butcher them myself i have a butcher do it. I used to do the turkeys and chickens myself, but I don't anymore. I just raise them.
I had a coon problem it was a faimly of 5.i had to trap and shoot. So don't be surprised if there are more cokns in the area. My friend has caught 18 so far. And yes she traped and killed them and used foot traps.
They should sell box traps get a small ish one. Do you know how big it is? If not start lf with a small one then get a bigger one if that doesn't work after a while. They are tricky to catch. I will post a pic of the trap I used. I would set up a game camera as well. Also you can get prededer...
You have to catch it. It will continue to come back until all your birds are dead. Trust me. Bait a box trap or foot trap with chicken livers from the store. Make the trap look like a dark tunnel.
