Pepper didn't have a chance in hell against a breeding pair of coyotes! :bash: He was bottle feed from birth because his nanny was a first time mom who left him.
The female went down first, she was lactating. Then the remaining two goats had to be found after being attacked but living, all safe and secure in barn. After a short wait he came back to the scene of the crime, then he went down! :tup:
Last year it was a cougar stealing babies from the barn never could catch it. :bash: Eventually it moved on to who knows where.
The first picture is Pepper, and female coyote.
The second is intestines, and male coyote.
The third is male coyote.

Good luck on takin out the rest of them! We have thought about goats also, but conserned about all the preditors around our place also, would probably be in the same situation.
Didn't start having problems with any predators until last year. :dunno:

Talked with a warden yesterday and in the last week he has dealt with a cougar killing goats (owner shot it ) , cougar killing domestic turkeys, and a bear killing a lamb. Way too many predators up here in Stevens County!!Ill practice on them gladly.

Good shooting...you might consider a guard animal too.

My in laws have 12 or so goats that free range on 12 acres of barbed wire fenced property outside of Pomeroy in the Blues foothills. They're in the middle of nowhere. They've had goats there for 8-10 years now I think and have not lost any to predators. They've got a llama that is a guard animal. That thing has killed 2 coyotes so far, both have been inside the barn. He's a killer. Won't even look twice at people, never been a problem with people, kids, etc.(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com%2Fimages01%2F112%2Ff37a8d22f9bf5fc7f432821abe22fd4c%2Fl.jpg&hash=74cca6f5773efe2c8628a242cea470979ee34068)

Way to defend the flock. I constantly have to do it in the Wenas. Good shootin!
Well I cant take credit for the marksmanship, a very good shooting BA took care of the problem for me. I was at work 65 miles away. :tup:

I have thought about some sort of guard animal, llama, and or Great Pyrenees Dog Breed.
That's about it, Smossy.

From what I've heard the Pyrenees are great as long as you don't mind constant barking. I can't confirm or deny that, but what I've heard is they bark all the time, and when they stop barking, then there's something up. They will circle the property all night. They require a fair amount of training. My inlaws friends have 2 of them. They've lost a bunch of chickens to coyotes. I also think that donkeys are good too. Over in Pomeroy, there's a few folks that use the llamas with goats and sheep.
:dunno:
I don't think I could deal with the barking, llamas hmmmmm, mules would be perfect, been wanting a couple to pack with anyways. Wonder if they would work?
