I have been having trouble with coyote's killing my Reg. Boer goats. Since July 4 I have lost 4 of them to the coyotes.killers move in. I keep the goats in a High tinsel fence with Hot wires 6" apart. My neighbors and I have declared war on them but have only been able to kill 1 of them.
Tim, the answer to your coyote question is Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs.
My son has two for his Boer goat herd and has never lost a single one.
Lots of coyotes and bobcats in area.
They raise the puppies with the goats � they are not pets.
I love to watch them take the goats to pasture in the morning and bring them to the pens at evening time - natural herding instinct.
The photo doesn�t do them justice � they are BIG dogs.
Here's a pond picture to keep this thread pond related. Goats will manicure pond edges and eat water primrose to boot.
