Your livestock are a crucial part of your agriculture business. But to cattle predators, they represent something entirely different: a meal.

That means protecting your livestock from coyotes, for example, is vitally important to the health of your business. If you’re trying to protect your livestock from predators, here are seven tips you can use to protect your investment and keep them safe.

The experts at Farm Bureau Financial Services provide seven ways to help protect your livestock. These include:

  1. Getting a Guardian Animal
  2. Implementing a Buddy System
  3. Investing in Fencing Solutions
  4. Switching Up Your Agricultural Practices
  5. Providing Housing
  6. Disrupting the Predator’s Schedule
  7. Maintaining Healthy Prey Population

Specifics around each of these can be found on their website, but the ultimate goal is to make it more difficult for predators so that they don’t feel that it’s worth it to after your livestock, steering them toward wild game, rabbits or rodents instead.
