We have bee using the Night Guard system The Original Nite Guard Solar® Predator Light | Jeffers Pet for about five years and it seems to be working. We have eight spread around the perimeter of close to two acres where the chicken coop and goat pens are located. Additionally, we do have two donkeys, one with the bucks and one with the does. Our first set of Night Guards has been working for five years. We just added the second set this year.

Definitely thankful there is no coyote problem near me. Hate though that you all with livestock have to deal with such a predator. Had no idea they were so widespread.

My daughter has a couple of donkeys she rescued. They get along fine with all her other animals but let a stray dog or coyote come on the property and they go into attack mode. Dog or yote better be able to outrun them as they leave.

She has horses, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and the donkeys don't bother any of those. Animals are like people though. They all have different traits and personalities.

No black vultures this far North, but they are pack predators unlike our benign, scavenging turkey vultures. Thought they're a Southern thing, but OHIO?

They have gradually spread north. I think most sightings are immature turkey vultures. We don't have a lot of them, but they are here. If you don't have them yet, you will.

Only saw coyotes once here, running along the edge of the field across from my property at sunset, but they were unmistakable even from a distance. The hairs on my neck tingled. I think I knew they were not dogs or foxes more than I knew they were coyotes. Our foxes, which will come right behind our house in evenings in springtime, are not much bigger than a large cat and are very delicate and graceful looking. Very interesting to watch.

When my dog was young - he saw his first cows as we were walking down my driveway. You could see the fear & excitement he was showing. Before I could catch him, he was under the fence and headed toward the cows. They turned, looked and saw nothing but a nuisance approaching. He ran amongst them and they simply stood there mooing. They are accustomed to dogs because my neighbor uses border collies to herd/move them.

Before you knew it - all the excitement was over. I saw my cute, little black cocker spaniel coming back and he was completely covered from nose to tail in slimy, green cow poo. There was a valuable lesson learned that day. He has never again gone near any cows. As we walk down the driveway now - he will notice them, but stays his ground and does not approach.

I've seen coyotes case cows, in the spring when the calves & mothers are turned out to pasture. Since the mother/calf combos usually band up into a fairly large grouping it will take four or more coyotes to even make them move. There is safety in standing their ground and facing the coyotes as a group and the mothers seem to realize that. The neighbor will occasionally loose a calf during calving season - the coyotes will enter the pens and take the newborn.

When you live out here - you do what you can if the coyotes are a problem but one must remember that coyotes are a part of the natural way of things.

Well, that's a worthless wall! :laughing: Geeze, I expected it to be a little harder. Man, just boink! Right on up there. Them and cockroaches will be all that's left at the end.

Good One Moss!!!!!! :D

Dogs aren't on your property messing with your stock/critters.


I have a hole that disagrees

We also have a lot of coy dogs running around which makes for the normal claims that people have seen a wolf in Tx...:laughing:

We have the Night Guard System also. Seems to be working. I haven't seen any critters on my trail cams around the pen for a few weeks now.
