Sheep & Goats

How do I prevent predator loss with sheep and goats?

Use livestock guardian dogs (Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, Maremma), donkeys, or llamas as guardian animals. Predator-proof fencing with 5-foot minimum and 6-strand electric. Night confinement in secure barns. Coyotes and stray dogs cause most U.S. losses; maintain consistent guardian presence to deter both.
