Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Great Pyrenees question(s)
Hi Dani!
No proof, no foot prints as it was on grass. I have not seen any stray dogs around the area either. The lambs were only a week old or so.
So, cant say it was a coyote for absolute certain, cuz no one actually seen them take the lambs. I know I have heard them very close to the farm here.

Jim -- are they absolutely sure it was coyotes (did they see the attack)? I'm not doubting you, but a lot of folks assume coyotes when in fact it was feral dogs. Coyotes can attack new born animals but it's not normal for them to attack something so large, so I'm puzzled.
As you know, we don't live that far apart and the coyotes haven't come anywhere near the paddocks -- even before we got the guard dog.
Cheers,
