Livestock Guardian Dogs *free PDF*
Let’s talk about Livestock Guardian Dogs for a minute. We have them. We’ve trained them. And we’ve learned a lot along the way.
Our first flock of Katahdin Hair Sheep were nearly all killed or severely harmed by a domestic dog attack on our farm. The ewe I mention in “the truth: about ketosis and ewes” survived this attack.
Needless to say – we needed another line of defense to care for our livestock.
And then began the search for our Livestock Guardian. One we could depend on and one that could grow with our flock.
I have put together an 11 page PDF with information ranging from:
How to deter predators.
Finding the right LGD.
Bonding your LGD to your livestock.
and so much more…
We want to help lesson the learning curve for you when it comes to creating a thriving ranch, farm, and homestead. Our hope is that you will take this information and glean from it what you need and also help others along the way.
May your livestock be safe and may you have a thriving home!
Follow the form to have the PDF sent to your email!
Until next time,
Happy Shepherding!

I have a small homestead here in Redfield, Arkansas. I live in a tiny house on six acres. I would love to learn more about livestock raising and being able to provide more for my family.
Thank you
