Unfortunately, I, too, live too far south to be of any help in feeding these stray kitties. I do not believe that they should be euthanized unless there is a real reason for doing so, i.e., illness, disease, or something tragic.
I am, however, 100% in favor of trapping, neutering and release to the same place they were trapped. Stray/feral cats must be neutered. Otherwise after a few years, the area will be inundated with cats. It is not a good practice to feed them and not neuter them.
Just as a point of information, a cat's gestation period is about 63 days. They go back into heat when the kittens are a few weeks old and will produce a few litters a year. Do the math!
