Adding the sheep enterprise to the Wohlers Ranch is not without predator risk. We have lost baby calves and maybe older calves to coyotes over the past few years, but sheep, especially lambs are even more susceptible to becoming coyote dinner. Therefore we purchased a guard llama as a herd protector. Llamas are known for bonding with sheep and actually chasing, even killing coyotes that try to get an easy meal. This llama is a 2 year old male that we will halter break as Blake has that experience from his days of exhibiting llamas at the fair. We are looking for suggestions as to what his name should be--please help.
