I spoke too soon. I had a baby Copperhead in the yard over the weekend. Sorry I don't play with poisonous. Thank God I found it with the lawn mower and not the...
Why don't you just relocate the snake. I much prefer snakes to mice. I don't like to be around them, either, but will not kill them. Surely you have someone...
Bonnie, I know what you mean but I can't take the chance of him coming back to the back door of the house. Killing it was my last resort and I will save a rat...

What do you guys know about using Llamas to guard sheep? Is it worth the effort? Do they work to guard or do they end up being too protective and you can't get...
Hi Susan, I've had a guard llama since I've had sheep, about 5 years now and she is wonderful. I can catch her, she is protective of the ewes and lambs but...
Susan, We've only had one llama, but he's been a wonderful addition to our small operation. We've had him for about 6 or 7 years now with no predator losses....
Llamas are great for guardians. I think that's what we'll get when we get up to Idaho in September. Wouldn't have a donkey, I've seen them injure sheep. A...
