Anatolian
Shepherds
Our isolated ranch is surrounded
by coyote, bobcat, raccoon, badger, fox and the occasional mountain
lion. We also have a host of airborne hunters, including an enormous
Great Horned Owl who was taking out a very large duck every few nights
until we were able to put a stop to it. We needed a versatile predator
control system which would be effective against a variety of predators
and be able to protect birds to goats. We found the solution in the
Anatolian Shepherd, an
ancient breed from Turkey. These magnificent creatures have lived with
their flocks under the most rigorous of conditions for thousands of
years and are one of
the oldest and most natural methods of predator
control around. Since our Anatolians have been on guard, we've not lost
a goat or a duckling to a predator.
