[Jacob-list] another opinion

[Neal and Louise Grose]

We also have coyotes in our area. So far, they have not gone after the sheep.

A neighbor had Romneys and Border Leicesters. A few years ago, she left them in a lower pasture away from the house for a few weeks. When she brought them in, she discovered that she no longer had any Romney lambs. All the Border Leicesters and adults were there and showed no injuries. This is typical of coyotes. If the animals attack during the day, and go after anything that will run, then they are dogs, or worse, Coy-dogs.

The sweetest, most soft spoken woman that I know once advised her husband as she was leaving on a trip that if he saw dogs in the sheep pasture he was to shoot them and bury them under the porch...don't tell anyone. Janice once went out with a shotgun to blast at a couple of dogs chasing near the pasture only to turn around and find the dog's owner between her and her own house. The dog owner came back later to complain to Janice's husband that she had said unkind things to him. "I'll bet she did." was the only reply the man got.

Another friend decide to give his neighbor one more chance to keep their large and beloved mixed breed dogs confined. He took pictures of the partially shredded sheep along for "show and tell". His neighbors stunned response was "I thought they were just playing with them."
