Rocky is a great protector but he is old as dirt. My Brother is going to be in a world of hurt when he goes, which is likely to be soon because Rocky is almost 20 years old.
He keeps saying he does not have the time to train another barnyard dog.
I told him to get a donkey. At least they will take care of the coyotes.
He has a hen yard which is huge. Keeps the big animals at bay, and makes it easy for Rocky to manage. Does not do much with hawks and eagles. But I have a pond near by and they seem to have more interest is the fish most of the time.
Knock on wood. So far not much problem in that category for now.
They say llamas work also, but llamas are just mean bastages from nose to tail...and this coming from a cattleman (who's used to working with some 'waspy' critters from time to time).
I reckon' me an' llamas wouldn't get on very well. <wondering if llama meat is any good? Thinkin' prolly not.>
