ceejay48	Posted - Sep 19 2013 : 5:28:31 PM Llamas are used a lot in our part of the country. Our neighbors use a donkey for sheep and goats. However, the mountain lions are still around . . they are getting the sheep AND killed our llama (he was not guarding anything, was 23 years old and, we think, just recently went deaf) It's hard to know the best thing but most folks around here would vote for the llama.

sherone_13	Posted - Sep 19 2013 : 08:21:40 AM We use a llama for our sheep. Her name is Snickers. She does a great job keeping the neighborhood dogs and the coyotes away.

oldbittyhen	Posted - Sep 18 2013 : 07:45:42 AM it depends on your herd size and what predators they will be guarding against... "Knowlege is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"
