Linda, If a Llama sees danger, it will first let out a distinctive and loud warning cry. This alerts the horses do danger and also, 99% of the time scare off the danger. Should the danger persist, coyote cougar bobcat, the Llama will attack it. The front hooves are pointed and very sharp. I can easily hear the warning cry from the remote pasture, grab a rifle and be ready to go. If the Llama attacks, another distinctive cry and I'm on the way, well armed. We bought a Kawasaki diesel mule for hauling things...including me. I can haul to the lower pasture VERY RAPIDLY. We also have three Great Pyrenees who guard the rest of the ranch. As roamers, they are inside a mesh wire perimeter with an electric wire on the INSIDE of the fence. A Great Pyrenees thinks it has to guard everything within a 5 mile area. We have leased two Llamas to a farm that raises pigmy goats and sheep. Since they got the Llamas, they have lost none of their stock. Our Llamas get along with the Fjords and Miniature horses. We have two rescue Pyrenees bitches and one neutered rescue male. The horses and Llamas love them. Fred All Mail is scanned in AND out by Norton Anti-virus.

Spit or holler? I am not being funny - I have looked into getting a Great Pyrnees but someone suggested a lama. Thanks, Linda Lottie
