[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1670137, member: 25884"] We have had several donkeys over the years. Only one gelding bothered the baby lambs... once they were 40-50 lbs he was fine. We ran him with the rams and the bigger weaned lambs. Had one that would stand over a lamb every time a buzzard would even darken the sky .... Llamas have been the best for us with the lambs. Guardian dogs don't work without the proper fencing... most of our places are rented and fencing just not good enough to keep a dog in... and we have too many "do gooder" idiots that think it is cruel to make a dog stay out with the sheep in all kinds of weather.....most people that have LGD's say the dogs don't want to even use shelters when the weather is bad. Caught one neighbor feeding the dog trying to tempt it to his yard because we were neglecting it.... Had a couple of neighbor dogs; oh my dog wouldn't do that..... caught in the act running and killing several of our pregnant ewes.... Deputy sheriff paid them a visit and the sheep got paid for but we lost the lambs they were pregnant with and ready to have.... people were told that the dogs were fair game if we caught them again even in the same field with the sheep.
