Predators and predation
Predators cause significant economic loss to the sheep and goat industry. While the coyote (Canis latrans) accounts for the largest percentage of predator losses in the United States, the type of predator and level of risk to a farm varies by geographic location and production system. On this page, links are arranged alphabetically according to subject category: (the) coyote (behavior and control), general links, livestock guardians (donkeys, llamas and alpacas, and dogs), management, predator control (lethal and non-lethal), predator damage, and wildlife damage.
