[told in person] I live in rural Nevada, and have a flock of sheep. I was distressed to see coyotes attacking and killing my newborn lambs, and called Nevada Dept. of Wildlife for advice.
They told me they would come out and kill all the coyotes. I told them I absolutely didn’t want the coyotes killed. But this was all NDOW had to offer.
So I researched on my own and found out that llamas will fight coyotes off. I purchased four llamas and keep them with my flock of sheep. I have had no further problems with coyotes.
