We have about 30 head of cattle and we are weekend farmers. We get up there twice a week usually. We have a coyote problem that is getting rapidly worse. We used to have a donkey and never had any problems, but he kept breaking fences to get to other donkeys a pasture away so we gave him away. What are other options to keeping coyotes away?
Will a female donkey work just as good?
Are llamas an alternative option?
Do donkeys really work or is just a myth?
We have a calf that was just taken down by coyotes, can we legally poison them and what is the best way?
We have lost at least 3 calfs this year due to coyotes that we know of, and for a farmer with 30 head, that is 10% of the herd.
I know this might be a lot of questions, but we need a solution for our situation. We have tried hunting them, but it hasn't put a dent in them and they are very smart around our parts. Our neighbor hunts them and they have learned to avoid a predator call.
