An Amish man pulls a cart full of eight trapped barn cats passed the PetFix of Northeast Ohio mobile spay/neuter clinic at an Amish farm in Middlefield, Ohio on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008. The surgery date was part of a program called 'Fix It In The Farmland' - a low cost spay/neuter program of the Geauga Humane Society which is aimed at providing low cost surgeries for the pets of the county's rural population. Saturday's surgeries were the first performed on location at an Amish farm. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta) 2015/09/fixitfarmland2.jpg
