We wanted a predator control method that fit our situation and after doing a lot of research, we decided on llamas. Guard llamas offer a viable, non-lethal alternative for reducing predation, while requiring little specialized training and care. Although not fully understood, once a guard llama becomes familiar with an area and is attached to the sheep, the pasture becomes the llama's territory and the flock becomes the llama's territory and the flock becomes the llama's family group. Guard llamas are not passive bystanders, but are active leaders and protectors of their flocks. During daily movements of a flock, llamas may take the front position to lead the sheep, walk and graze in their midst, or trail at their heels. We have obtained all of our llamas from Paul and Holly Shafer of Steadfast Farm in Redmond, OR. They are very committed to finding llamas that fit your situation and will stand behind them if they don't work.
