Re: [AlpacaTalk] protecting my herd

Put electric fence on the outside of your regular fence. Put it at the top and bottom. We had a neighbor dog touch the bottom electric only once he has not come back. Also someone walking with their dog and the dog touched the fence. When they walk now the dog goes to the other side of the road.

After having my llamas and alpacas attacked TWICE by neighboring German
Shepherds, I have realized that I need to make some drastic changes on our
farm. We're planning on running electric fence around the perimeter of the
pastures. I am also considering purchasing an additional guard llama or
LGD. I have one guard llama, but she is getting older, and can't protect
every pasture. For those of you with similar experiences...any
recommendations on how to better protect my herd? We've been extremely
lucky that no one has been killed, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Thanks, Emaly Leak
