The USDA found that wolves killed 3,879 cattle (2015) and sheep (2014) from an inventory of 8.7 million cattle and sheep. In other words, wolves killed 0.04 percent of the cattle and sheep inventories in the Great Lakes states and were allegedly responsible for just 0.89 percent of unwanted losses.
When it comes to keeping wolves away from livestock, any and all means should be tried. Air cannons, special lights called Fox Lights, noisemakers even drones equipped with lights, pepper spray and noisemakers can be part of the toolbox for ranchers and others who are pestered by predators.
How do wolves protect themselves? Wolves are the top predators in their habitat and have many ways to protect themselves against threats. They have sharp teeth and are extremely strong, which helps them take down their prey.Wolves also have sharp eyesight, and an excellent sense of hearing and smell.
Stand tall and make themselves look larger. Calmly but slowly back away and maintain eye contact. If the wolf does not run away immediately, continue making yourself large, keeping eye contact, and backing away. Do not turn your back on the wolf or run away.
Electric fences or combinations of wire mesh and electric fencing have been particularly successful, especially when used for protection at night when wolves are more likely to prey on livestock. Some types of fencing are portable and can be used with good results even in open- range situations.
Donkeys make acceptable guardians of sheep, goats and calves.Donkeys can protect against a single fox, coyote, roaming dog and possibly a bobcat. Donkeys who do attack a predator will be very aggressive, using their teeth and hooves. They may bray loudly.
Dogs, roosters and guinea fowl are considered the best animals to protect chickens. Alpacas and donkeys are also considered strong guard animals. These animals will sound an alarm when predators are close and will attack them and fight them, if necessary, to protect the hens and chicks.
Donkeys are considered to be the most effective livestock guardians. Llamas are most effective when dealing with smaller predators such as foxes or dogs.
