Yeah, raccoons are all nice and dandy when you live in town and it's cute when they eat cat food people leave out, but in areas where the scope of life doesn't require steel doors and clean-desk policies for porches, they're definitely a nuisance. I learned quickly to store all feed (even excess feed) in steel garbage cans with like this. It's a bit more expensive up front but they really do last forever. Heavy duty bungees covering the lid have seemed to provide enough protection over the years.
Beyond feed, I attached 1" poultry fencing on the bottom 24" of the chain link around my chicken run and sank it 6" into the ground below the fence line. It's worked pretty well since I installed it; no losses to predation.
Raccoons have they're place, but it's definitely not on a farm/ranch. It's an unfortunate fact of life, but stock animals (chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, etc.) are effectively prey to nature's predators and we are their keepers. I've never enjoyed culling a predator, but I've never regretted it either. I trap and relocate when I can but sometimes it's not possible. I feed my family and several others. Sometimes that requires unpleasant actions; t's a fact of life.
I use a galvanized steel can and the bag I get will fit inside. I like it because steel is pretty secure against pests or inquisitive pets :)
And I don't mind the industrial look of it.
