[Jacob-list] Missouri Flock Dispersal - coyotes

[Meg Steensland]

Two ways to deal w/coyotes.  I use guard llamas in each pasture (7) and have had only one incident in 2005 that I know about and have a pix of a sheep that was touched but not taken - article in Oct 2005 ILReport at llamaregistry.com. I live in Morrow Co OH and the attack happened 4 fenceposts in from US highway 42 (rural but heavily traveled).

2nd way is to get the county game warden to do a coyote hunt - schedule it and get responsible hunters, not gun-hotshots from the city. Probably have to do this 2x/year.

I have been asked to help get the word out concerning a Jacob flock dispersal near Bethany, MO.  If anyone has an interest in knowing more about these sheep, please contact the owner directly.  His name is Scott Gray and his email address is: grayfarms at live.com   Scott will be happy to provide specific details and photos to anyone that is interested
I have not seen photos of any of the sheep as yet.

The sheep are unregistered and the group includes 2 four-horned adult rams, 12 ewes and four 2010 ewe lambs.  One of the rams is lilac.  Three of the ewes are two-horned;  except for a 3-horn ewe,  the remainder of the sheep have 4 (or more) horns. No split eyelids in the flock.   He is anxious to sell the sheep as quickly as possible.  Apparently he has a huge coyote problem and has lost a significant number of sheep in the past two months.

Thanks!
