Re: [AlpacaTalk] protecting my herd
I'm sorry to hear about the attacks. I guess we all have to face the reality sooner or later, that we need serious protection for our alpacas. We also looked into this when we started our farm, and decided on LGDs. For various reasons we decided on the Komondor, which is an excellent breed to protect livestock and property. But any breed you choose, for best assurance, you better get 2 that work together.
Just before the holidays my husband spotted a cougar that had an eye for our pacas, and through our neighbors 8' fence from behind our house, it was heading to our moms pastures. He was running outside like crazy, but by the time he stepped out of the house, our komondorok noticed the intruder, started barking and that was just enough that the cougar decided not take his chances and disappeared.
This is what you want. You want to prevent any kind of damage - to livestock or property.
:o)
Besides having our komondorok guard our alpacas, we also have puppies. Please feel free to contact us for more info.

Hello,
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.
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
