Gophers and livestock are a bad combination.  Gophers create tunnels that easily collapse under minimal weight.  When cattle step into these holes and open tunnels, they can easily be seriously injured.  If they break a leg, they are usually destroyed.  Gophers cost cattlemen thousands of dollars in damages every year.

Horses and gophers are a serious combination.  Your horses are expensive and have no business being near gophers.  If you have gophers and horses, you need to call us to another trapper to quickly trap your gophers before they get out of control.  As soon as you see the first dirt mound or the actual gopher popping out of the ground, get on the phone.  Once a gopher is allowed to run freely, after a week, you will have a serious problem.  

Gophers work day and night and they don't hibernate.  Gophers work all the time and take small 'cat naps'. We have live trapped, marked, released and trapped gophers who have traveled miles in only a few weeks.  These tunnels can trip and cause your horse to fall, break a bone and throw and possibly injure you.  

If your horse is being boarded, tell them to call a wildlife control specialist as soon as possible.  You do not want to use any chemicals, poisons or baits anywhere near your horse, so be sure that they are trapped, then they won't return.  During trapping, no horses can be in the same area.  We have tried leaving large boards over areas where are traps are located, only to find that the horse enjoyed chewing on the board and kicking it around the yard.  Horses just need to be moved into a different area and if this isn't possible, then you should board your horse until the trapping is completed.  Once the gophers are removed, all tunnels need to be filled and compressed.  We can gladly give referrals to you for someone who can help you.

If ever you're riding your horse and you notice and gopher mounds, slowly walk your horse out of the area.  The injuries to horses are extreme and most must be destroyed.  You need to know what to look for and pay attention to your surroundings, for your horse's safety as well as your own.

Rodeo Arenas are a big problem area for gophers, usually because the area is hardly used and they are never bothered.  When an animal is bucking and a person is on top, the one thing that can seriously injure them both is gopher holes and tunnels.  By using traps, you will know that these gophers are gone.  Once killed, you need to make sure that the entire area is compacted and grated.  We have personally seen what suffering an animal goes through when they break a leg....which is why we have never been back to see a rodeo.  We don't mind trapping the gophers, as long as it's during off season.
