It is a hard - working breed whose function is to
guard its flock; that flock may be defined as anything from a person or family, to livestock such as horses,
llamas, ostriches,
sheep, chickens, or goats.
- Use multi-species stocking (i.e.,
sheep and cattle together)- Protect livestock in predator proof enclosures, especially at night - Utilize
guard dogs, donkeys, or
llamas - Confine ewes & cows during lambing / calving & at night - Provide rabbit wire covered enclosures with fencing buried below ground; rabbit cages are not recommended as they may be attacked through the cage or die of shock as they frantically seek cover.
