[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1531303, member: 25884"] We have run llamas with our sheep. An intact male wanted to try to breed the ewes and that is how they hurt them. Birthing smells triggers the mating instinct they say. All the female and FIXED males that we have with the sheep have been great. We had a donkey that was good with anything half grown but would try to kill the baby lambs. Had another donkey that was GREAT with the ewes and new lambs. We do not have the fences for guardian dogs. Great pyrs are about the worst for traveling that I have heard many talk about. I have heard that Anatoli's are more protective of their "human herd" . Komondors are supposed to be more apt to stick around. I would think that a Kom/Toli cross would be a good one. Used to farm sit for a guy who had Maremma's, and one was great, the other would kill the half grown lambs. Both would get out and travel some, but he didn't have very good fences and only a couple of sheep for them to guard so I think they were bored. They were great around people. Some friends that have meat goats run several llamas with them and have no problems; have both males and females, and have had one or 2 babies. [/QUOTE]
