    Enlisting Guard Llamas to Protect Livestock (and Flocks)?

    Hi All, I just read an article in the November issue of Out Here that discusses the use of Guard Llamas that could be an effective means in keeping small animals safe from predators. My curiosity was piqued because I had never heard about this method of predation management. The article...

    Western MA Amazing Silver Laced Cochin Bantam Cockerel
