    we had the same thing happen two years ago and after we fixed the fence, after we had our guard dog sleep at the barn, we left our cows out another night, and it happened again. After that, we bought two sweet and lovely and amazing donkeys. PROBLEM OVER!!! Never again has anything happened. The donkeys have their open stall, and at night they become like patrol officers around the whole big field. Never again has an animal died, never again has the fence been broken or pulled, but we got to see two big coyotes dead, with their skull fractured and on them was the undeniable print of our sweet little donkeys hoofs!!! Just amazing.

      When they first got Brutus my thought was , shoulda got donkeys. I really think with all the wildlife they have 1 of anything as a guard is a waste of money. Cog Hill only has 40 acres and they have 3 guard dogs and 2 donkeys. I,d say get at least 2 donkeys and 1 more dog

    Al and family sorry that you lost George. The hotwire is ok inside permanent boundary fences but not as your boundary fence. You need donkeys and you need another dog or two because the dogs work together. A goose had nothing to do with this incident. You have large predator at your farm. I think i would put all your animals in doors because this predator will be back! Im just telling you these things not to be bossy but just to help one of the hardest working families . These are hard lessons to learn. Give gina a hug from all of viewers and will keep you in our prayers!!!

    Sorry for your loss. I know the loss of George was not just one bull. He encompassed such promise for the future of your herd, and your business. God will give you clarity on the next step. He has already prepared a way forward for you. Look to His will with gratitude and a sense of adventure and He will not let you down. He's got this situation and your best at heart always. In the challenges that He guides us through we learn to see things through His eyes. Sometimes it's only through thr rearview mirror that His purpose becomes clear.

    @jdouglas2109 3 місяці тому +5

    Sorry for the loss of George, unfortunately that is part of things that happen when raising livestock. I grew up on a farm and we always had all kinds of animals and for various reasons you lost one here and there. My thoughts are those animals you have a big investment in and big future plans for should be protected especially where you live. Put them in the barn at night so they are shielded from any roaming predators.
    It's a learning process but don't let this set you back, find another bull and continue your quest for the things you still want to accomplish. Good luck to you.... Another thing you might consider is an intercom or cameras linked to your phone in and around the barn to alert you of possible trouble, I would have to think that Brutus would know if predators were around and bark like crazy so you could hear that through the intercom and hit the lights and let pew pew bark at least to scare any threat away. If you are still locking Brutus in the barn he may not detect things outside in the night so it would be better to give him access to the outside via a kennel area so he could keep an eye on things better. I also think you should get another dog like Brutus, strength in numbers. And then thinking of remedies a proper fenced corral would also protect them at night from threats and keep them from breaking out in case they did get riled up. You have all that timber so you could build a nice looking rustic corral out of the trees to serve the needed purpose and it wouldn't cost much only the time to get it done.

So often here in Scotland you see tourists scratching them under their chins and behind their ears right at the side of the road. I hope you can find a replacement for George soon. A freak accident that will never be repeated. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland

    I’m so sorry for George and for you. It’s a big loss. It needs to sink in. You are good planners. Take care of yourselves and your animal family. You will recover. I hope you can look at the ground with a tracker.
