this place is worthless for my needs

I missed the drama. Dang. 🍿 Bummer, I liked them.

This ain’t her first rodeo. She blew up and rained down spite and hate after just a few posts on BYH several weeks back. She showed up here and just couldn’t stop herself from being arrogant and rude.

WOW I can't imagine what it must be like to have predatory animals big enough to kill livestock. I have shot dogs before for attacking/killing my livestock years ago, but that's not the same as wild predators.

If I didn’t have livestock guard dogs, I’d have no sheep.

Sorry but BYHs is a no go, set up a membership there, posted twice and was told what we are trying to do is impossible so I revoked my membership, no point in getting advice from people who don't understand or believe in natural, organic, pastured farming.

I remember that. You actually got excellent advice from a very knowledgeable person who has raised cattle all her life and works in the dairy field. She was warning about diseases and the vaccinations to prevent them. She even explained that in great detail. So BYH is out because she gave you advice you didn’t want to hear? News flash—she is on SS too.

You have some good ideas, but you haven’t actually put them into practice, long term. There are lots of people on these forums. We share our successes and failures. We learn from one another. We share advice freely. You seem to have closed your mind to anything and anyone that doesn’t agree with you.

You certainly don’t have to act on any advice you get here from anybody, but you don’t have to get huffy and close your account either. When people offer advice, it comes from a place of caring about you, your animals and your success. We all get advice from one another, we choose what works for our situation, not all advice is applicable, but it is offered in good faith. We don’t always agree, if we disagree we do so politely. You have the opportunity here to draw on the experience of others. Ask for help, you will receive it. Use what you can, ignore the rest, and thank everyone for caring.

You have a lot of dreams and I hope they all come true for you.

good luck in your adventures but I would have to disagree this that forum is useless or even full of brainwashed idiots because we are all learning from and teaching each other respectfully here.

Anger management problem much?

wow, no idea what happened there, but i'd describe it as a rather hot mess at this point.

I have laughed about DIE DIE DIE all day. I’m so inspired that I went to my freezer, took out a package of my home grown Mutilated grain fed grazing animal meat and had it for supper. Waiting……….still waiting……..I don’t even feel sick.

you forgot the chocolate. see, i mean, if i'm knowing i might be going, i wanna go with chocolate on my breath.

Like @Mini Horses said, go to BYH and read the LGD and Predator forums. Lots of information there and you seem to want to be well informed.

I raise sheep. I currently only have 2 Anatolians, lost my female Great Pyrenees to old age and in July, my 7 year old male Great Pyrenees to cancer.

For predators, there are coyotes, the occasional cougar and there are black bears, very few bears, but they are here. I just moved here, have one field fenced and bare bones shelter for sheep and dogs. I close them up at night in a lot by the driveway.

We lost several lambs to coyotes this spring and DS had to move one of the donkeys home to be with these sheep from the other place. We do not have the fences for LGD's and have had trouble with "do -gooder know it all neighbors" feeding an LGD and enticing it out of the field because we were being cruel letting it stay out there ..... don't get me started on that.... so LGD's are not in the picture here. We had coyote trouble several years ago, lost a couple calves that we know were born alive. Neighbor had goats and had the dumb kids get their heads stuck in the woven wire fence because you know there is always something "better" on the other side of the fence. Had a couple get torn apart and finally a game camera captured a BEAR attacking and killing them... we have 3-4 bears in the area... know one is a sow and had a cub a couple years ago... and a new cub was seen this year so there is a male around also...
Dogs in packs are always a concern, but most around here are better about keeping their dogs fenced after the dog warden took away a couple that had been constantly harassing and attacking some cattle and sheep and caught on video and were removed from the owners after several warnings... and the owners had to pay for damages.... yes, our sheep were some that were killed... ran some very pregnant ewes to exhaustion and they died...

Wow. Just wow.

I’m happy to be a POLITE brainwashed idiot.
