Goats as a deterent for predators?

Agreed, mine have gotten into the feed area before and we eat anything they can get into, rabbit feed, chicken, goose, duck, doesn't matter to them and them will eat until I drag them out or the bags are empty. They then get diarrhea, stomach aches and can bloat, so be very careful. Oh and do they learn their lesson from this distress? NOPE! They will do it again, the minute they can!

Of course the only time this doesn't applied is when you want them to eat brush!!! Then all of a sudden they are really picky.

I am in on goats inviing coyotes..............
That has been my experience.................
then you would have to buy a lhama to protect the goats from the coyotes.



then a horse to protect the llama...before you know it there is a random moose in your backyard with chickens roosting on its antlers. Lol

Or better yet you get an LGD, then it eats the chickens!!! Vicious circle!

Course, the best guard "dog" we ever had was a Percheron Cross, even the bears were afraid of him!!
