My plan was twofold.......First I went and got a Great Pyranese Guardian dog. There is nothing that those dogs will not fight to the death, and not the guardian dog being on the losing side(they are very dangerous however once imprinted on the livestock, and will engage to kill any other species of animal including the two legged kind if they are where they are not supposed to be)
Next, establish as much rabbit habitat in your area as possible. If you see rabbits, you will not have any threat from predators to your livestock or family. I even went to those small animal auctions and bought all the bunnies I could haul each week. I turned em loose in the surrounding few square miles during the spring and summer. I spread a few bales of good alfalfa hay flakes thruout the surrounding area every few days during the heavy snow pack as feeding stations(and thus predator buffet's") for the rabbits.
I've got coyotes and wolves all around me and have not lost one lamb or ewe to predation. It's why God made bunnies!
Man, that is sick. I love it!
