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
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

OK great Rod! this was my next question. No barking, and no jumping on my
2-year old kid or even acting protective
Michael, you didn#x27;t mention how tall your fence is. Ours is five feet and
I#x27;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

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
at bay.

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

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
17 matches
