Guardians

The guardians at C & H Livestock consist of livestock guardian dogs, llamas and donkeys.

 

The llamas arrived as pets in 1998 from James and Mary Nell Doyle of Mariko Llamas, Krum TX.

This is Billboard Hit

Billboard Hit aka "Hit" is a '97 paint gelded male. He is registered with the International Lama Registry and micro chipped. His sire is Warbonnet SBF and his dam is Night-Light. Hit loves the baby goats and will encourage or tempt them to climb on him all the time. He is very attentive to the goats. He is heavy coated so needs clipping in the summer. He also loves to spend time in the pond to cool off. I have witnessed the goats surround him when the LGDs give a warning bark. He is the protector while the dogs go after any aggressor. NOTE: Hit died February 2009 because of injury, he is missed!

 
This is Touchstone Mist
Sir Touchstone Mist aka 'Touch" is a silver gray '97 gelded male. He is registered with International Lama Registry and micro chipped. His sire is MW Stellar and his dam is Tiplea Mist out of Kesling's Chilean Legacy. Touch is super with humans and has been featured at petting zoos at the local schools and nursing home. He does guard goats but doesn't care for the sheep. He loves to be petted and will great anyone that comes into his pasture. He is light coated so needs minimal clipping in the summer.
 
In Summer of 2008 we adopted 'Angela', a painted female llama that might be bred.  She has taken the place of "Hit" as best friend to Touch.  Angela is very sweet and loves to be petted.  She is very people oriented!  I hope to get a picture of her soon for the webpage.

The Livestock Guardian Dogs are all working Great Pyrenees, Anatolians or a cross of the two breeds.
 
 
Boo is a rescued Anatolian x Great Pyr mix that is about 3 years old in 2009.  Beau is a rescued Great Pyr that is roughly a 7 year old in 2009.  Beau came to me as a rescue from the Leander Animal Shelter in 2002; they aged him at around a year to two. He has turned out to be the best guardian. I have actually captured on camera his capture of a coyote. He is the dog that takes the lead in any chase of coyotes. He is a very gentle dog. (note Beau passed away June 2009) 
 
"Missy" is a 2003 Anatolian spayed female rescued by Gene Blackwell and given to us to help with sheep predation problems. She is very protective of her charges and a very sweet natured dog.  

"Babs" is a 2002 Anatolian spayed female. She came from a big ranch in South Texas. She is not friendly and has to be trapped for annual shots. She doesn't put up with much and takes her guarding very seriously.

Sometimes everyone needs help reaching that just right spot to scratch!

The donkeys are new to the operation. I'm not sure how much guarding they do but they do get along with the llamas and LGDs. They are: Reba and Blaze are the Jennies. Jenny is Blaze's foal from 2005. We also adopted "Larry" in 2008, he is a painted Jack that was foaled in 2008.  We hope to have some pretty babies in 2010 or sooner.

 

In addition to the animals that work, we have animals that live here just because!  Below are pictures of some...
