Coyotes
Losses to coyotes can be reduced by herding livestock into pens
at night and using electric fences. Conduct lambing, kidding
and calving inside a shed. Remove any carrion to help reduce the
food supply. Use guard dog, donkey or llamas. Strobe lights,
sirens propane cannons and other scare devices may reduce
predation by coyotes. Trapping and shooting will help control
coyotes. In North Carolina there is an open season on coyotes.
