Good Afternoon;
We had one of our three pings killed by a Mountain Lion last week. We thought that we lost all three pigs, and four of our goats, but the goats reappeared, and a neighbor called saying that there were 2 pigs on the highway- (we were able to recover them)( The dead pig had shorted the electric fence )) My question remains :
What can we do to protect our pigs? We are setting up a
security motion light, and have bought a 12 guage shotgun. According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife website the llamas we have pastured ( in exchange for the protection they afford) are effective for foxes and coyotes (of which we also have many), they ARE scared of, and completely useless against cougars (of which we also have many).
What to do What to do... If anything.
Thanks in Advance,
Unixguy
