Coyote Trouble


Recently I sold most of my sheep at the auction, I didn't want to cause they were all going to have babies soon and I love the babies. I kept two pregnant ewes and one six month old ewe. I will use the six month old until the babies are old enough. Eight years ago I started out my sheep herding was with three little sheep about three month old. Three sheep became four a few days ago, a new little ram was born. He was really cute until last night when the coyote's killed him, his mother and the six month old. This is really out of control. I guess without the rams and the herd they are easy pray and the one alone won't last long either. I put her in a small pen up against the barn and we will hope for the best. It been so foggy lately hunting hasn't been impossible and the coyote's are getting bold. My dogs have wounds from fighting but somehow the ducks are fine.

Picking up scattered pieces of there remains was definitely a bad way to start the day.
