Why do you think so many of them are "farm cats"?
We feed them a minimum of cat food and they get scraps, past that they "work" for us by supplementing their diet with rodent kills. There's farms across the road and another just 2 properties up the road so they roam there and keep the rodents in check as well.
No vet bills for those kitties.
If a farm cat population get too large they will migrate on their own to where there is a lower population so the numbers stay fairly constant with them. There's a few stalwarts who will stay on the "home" property.
I suspect the outdoor litter of kittens will migrate since their mother only hangs around here when she gives birth then disappears after the kittens are adolescent.
