Guard Llama Protecting Week Old Calf

Some of you have been curious about our use of Guard Llamas to protect our herd against canine predators. Here is a video of one of the llamas watching over a week old calf whose mother was in the feeding barn. The llama is keeping the calf close to the barn and even chasing my dogs away from the calf. Here is a link to a study that Iowa State University did regarding Guard llamas protecting sheep. Rather long but if you are interested it is a good read. http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publ...
