It looked interesting, so I came for a visit. I see that you\'ve got coyotes giving you trouble. We\'ve got them in Virginia also. Some of the people that have vulnerable farm animals are placing guardian animals in their pastures. Llamas, alpacas, burros and donkeys have superior reputations for helping. Here\'s a website to read some, and you may google for others. http://www.solacefarm.com/protection.htm Hello,

We have the same problems in town: coyotes, fox, racoons, groundhogs, and skunks. However we don\'t have livestock to protect. We welcome the fox because they eat the overflowing population of rabbits and ground squirrels. I have to admit I wish one of the local coyotes would take care of my neighbors small terrier dogs that bark like mad. Interesting web site - I\’m a town girl.

The weather here started out sterotypically Halloweenish (we had thunderstorms around sunrise, and some rain) but it is turning out nice enough (clear, sunny, in the 60's). Fuel prices are way down here, Unlead is around $1.96 and Diesel is around $2.79. I just wish food prices would go down as well. Take care! Kevin Hi Joel,

I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

We have had Great Pyrenees for 8 years now and have been impressed with their guarding ability. Can\'t imagine life on our alpaca farm without them!

Nice to see ya back! I can't wait to read you Farm and Ranch diary. I subscribe to it! Coyotes aren't a huge problem around here, but dogs, foxes, racoons, and cats are. Skunks and foxes eat the eggs. Groundhogs, skunks, racoons, and deer tear up crops to. We have to shoot a few of each before. That is legal when protect livestock though. Also, I've been getting back into our website and blog, too. That Kaylee's turning into a beautiful young woman! Hey, Joel! Nice to see ya back! I can’t wait to read you Farm and Ranch diary.

Was starting to wondering if your blog was going to continue to be maintained or not. The dog issue is bad one (coyotes too). I never really understand folks who think their dogs should have free roaming rights in the rural areas and get upset when a sheep farmer protects his livestock - I have personally been around when that one happened. Just to much of people that do not know pushing back out into rural areas I think. Good to see a post again. Was starting to wondering if your blog was going to continue to be maintained or not.

Sorry bout the coyote problems. We've had them take down full grown cows that had recently calved on us. And now we have a pack of wild dogs that are a german shepard cross that a woman supposedly released when she couldn't handle two any more, that are taking down full grown ponies and other large livestock. It is terrible. And we had the coyotes kill our entire flock of chickens five or six years ago. For the goats and calves, if you have a barn that can be closed tight that they could stay in at night that might help. Otherwise we've found shooting a couple that are causing the most problems when we can find them seems to stop them for a while. hope all turns out well! Hey. Sorry bout the coyote problems.
