maddmaxx ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2018 Are the coyotes much of a problem with the livestock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted November 30, 2018 Can be in some areas, particularly during lambing and calving. We lost some mature sheep to coyotes when we lived in Oregon. We finally used guard dogs and donkeys to reduce/prevent losses. So far they have kept their distance in Montana, and hopefully they will stay in the area across the interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
