It would probably be cheaper to randomly buy live chickens and distribute them around the property once a week or so to keep what wants your goats occupied with catching the chickens.

Don’t bait predators to your property with easy pickins... offer a deterrent. I am seeming to recall that farmers would introduce a donkey to the pasture with the goats... that when coyotes were about that donkeys turned into aggressive protectors.

LOL... My chickens, ducks and geese already provide many a good meal for the predators around here. I can afford to lose an occasional bird, but at the price of those goats, I could be done in no time.

I am amazed at what meat goats are going for right now. However, I haven’t priced those dogs yet and I’d bet they eat a ton.
