Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Dogs? Coyotes? killed my only 3 females alpacas left
Obviously, before you get more alpacas, you want to make your fences
as secure as possible. We have a few gates that have low spots where
dogs might get under, too. And every now and then, we do see roaming
dogs. I'm going to take care of this today!
You can fill with 3/4 minus gravel to make it level under the gate,
and adding pavers under the gate would be even more secure. Or, pour
some concrete. That will prevent anyone from digging under the gate,
and concrete is so cheap, less than $5 for a 90 lb bag, I think.
