Found a half eaten lamb hanging on the fence today. First time the Llama's have failed on their job. I put the rest of the lamb in a trap to see what I catch tonight. By the way those live traps are expensive especially the dog size ones.

I would suspect that there were too many coyotes for your llama to deal with. Sorry for the loss.

Best time to buy those live traps is Black Friday at TSC...a little late this year but for those already planning for next year. It was the only thing that I ventured out for last year on that day.

Went to check on the Goats out of pure boredom and sleeplessness. It kinda sweet how they sleep in family groups. Even the adopted Saanen buckling is getting along with his French Alpine mom and two younger siblings. If the little Saanen looks good in a few more month, maybe I'll use him as the buck.

One of my wethers is kinda an outcast, he sleeps all alone. I imagine he had a friend before they all got sick but must of lost him cause now I notice the Nubian all isolated.

you could be is friend and sleep with him

Maybe you could make the poor lonely wether into a house goat and it could sleep in the living room ??

yeah, then they can both sleep in the livingroom instead of the barn.

Wow, sorry to hear about your coyote problem. I hope you get them all. I would also agree that there must have been too many for the llama.

Well I got a friendly phone call from the county Wildlife office, saying they had caught or kill all but one of the Coy Dog pack in a multi group effort to irradicate the feral animal. The Coyotes won't be targeted unless they become a threat to humans or become heavily over populated as they are a natural part of the environment, which for one I agree.
