[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1588317, member: 24816"] The dog likely work, the male Pyrenees we had with sheep would not let them or any other bird land. My biggest problem with the dogs was keeping them in the field the Pyrenees loved to roam. I have often thought about an Anatolian Shepherd as well, they may be a little better suited than Pyrenees all things considered. Agree that protective cows are key in defending their calves, however years ago I witnessed the prelude to the first buzzard kill and didnt know what was going on. Our most protective cow at the time, had just calved and was surrounded by what had to be 50 buzzards on the ground in a circle around her and her new born calf. At the time I didnt know about the different habits of buzzards, so just thought they were after her afterbirth and that her frantically charging them was just her being her. I had to be somewhere so I left thinking that everything was fine her calf was up and I thought that the pair would leave, never saw the calf again. From that time on I have been on edge ever time I see those buzzards around. I will fire off shots to scare them or drive the truck or tractor towards them if they are on the ground. Now if you could arm your drone. [/QUOTE]
