[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2740"] Agree, more costly. If you have problem with stray dogs, coyotes, wolves, etc., then might be cost-effective. On other hand, a "predator" guard animal such as Llama, donkey, etc. might work too. We have Longhorns. We're also in stray dog and coyote country. Even our very young calves (month old or so) will stalk and chase out "small" critters such as cats, etc. The yearling and adult Longhorns have very good distance eyesight and will even come up to fence and watch some animal (or other roadside activity) on the other side of fence. Longhorns historically are very good predator control animals while being gentle creatures to their "friends." They will also gather around calves if danger is present. Unless they were outnumbered significantly by a pack of wolves or mountain lions, don't think the predator(s) would stand much of a chance.
