Yep, OUTSIDE cats are great as long as they're not feral, you don't name them, and are fixed. Cats will kill a boat load of stuff. Just give them water on a regular basis and somewhere warm-ish to sleep in the day (any pallet built "buidling" with some straw will work) and you're golden. Feed them just enough that they are still hungry and they'll hunt to beat heck.
Your pet shelter will love you if you say "I'll take anything with all its claws and is fixed that you got. I want barn cats." You'll get 20 in a month, no problem. All of the "problem pets" that they get that pee on/or tear up furniture automatically get killed, so you'll be the first call in that case.
Just make sure they're FIXED... and try to run off other cats that aren't yours with a shotgun. Otherwise you'll have 300 inbred cats in about 4 years.
