I don't know if you have picked out your game/scouting camera yet, but I'll
tell you what I have. It's Wildview InfraredXtreme, Model STC-TGLX81RNG. You
can look at it on their website www.wildviewcam.com. It's waterproof and
comes with a long mounting strap. I borrowed my neighbor's last summer
This might back up the info I have heard regarding a large ruminant
guard animal. Have only one. It is then forced to bond with the flock.
Some people think having two or three donkeys or llamas will cause
them to herd together and ignore the flock.
But my goat breeder lady I spoke of has several
Hi Michael,
We have had llamas for the last 3 years and they have done next to nothing
to deter the coyotes. We currently have two gelding llamas in a bachelor ram
pen, 3 rams, there were four rams but coyotes got in last August and killed
and completely ate one of them. Full grown, very healt
red dollar investment I ever made.

Michael, in 2008
Carol, thanks for the response. The dog is actually an Aussie shepherd
bitch that was never trained to herd. I rescued her from a goat
breeder who had in turn rescued her from some druggie guys who abused
her. The goat breeder had no proper place to keep her and she was just
chained on asphalt in a
Michael,
I'm so sorry you are having these issues and losing sheep. I am extremely
attached to all my sheep, but especially the ones who are pets.
I live in Maryland and currently, do not have a large animal predator problem,
but is light something that will startle them away? Would it be p
Michael, in 2008 I had a cougar AND a pack of coyotes kill and eat
five 90-lb ram lambs in one night. All that was left when I found
them the next morning were rib cages, five stomachs (drug away from
the carcasses), and a few testicles. The cat had gone over the fence;
the coyotes dug under. D

Ray, wow! I had no idea. I am surprised then that I have not had
issues before. I have 4--sh foot tall fencing, it's the 2'x4" x 4 foot
wire fence roll stuff. Good for keeping lamb and kid heads from
getting stuck. Even though I am armed, rifle won't work for me since
we are basically a neighborh

Michael, you didn't mention how tall your fence is. Ours is five feet and
I've watched the coyotes clear it with room to spare. They are thick here
in central California right now, I shot four this past weekend on our ranch.
Have never had any luck trapping them, the rifle works best for me. Go
I also think it was coyotes, especially since your neighbors have been hit,
the coyotes just decided it was your turn. They will absolutely be extremely
happy to help themselves. We are in north-central TX and we broke down
early this year and ended setting up several snare traps along our f

Sounds like coyotes or coyote/dog cross.Look for a trail into your

New to sheep, started in 2008 as some of you folks know, and our

the ability of coyotes to get under a fence-- on our far pasture--
that a cat or rabbit can get under.
