Question, for those who run sheep - we are planning on getting some sheep(maybe 5 to start) to add lamb to our growing list of direct marketed products. I'm wondering what your experiences are with guardian animals for a small sheep flock. The sheep would never be too far from the yard, always on the home quarter section at least. I'm not sure if we should get another dog, a donkey, or........I can't say it......AAHHH!! THE PAIN........a Llama.

I plan on rotating the sheep through the paddocks we have here at home, and have a portable shelter I can drag from pen to pen with the quad for them to go in at night. Maybe we could just tie our ol' Wolfhound to the door - sheep stay in, coyotes stay out. :lol:
