Here in the remote reaches of North-Central Idaho raising livestock, like chickens, pigs, sheep or even cattle can be quite the ordeal! It is part of our moral responsibility to give our animals the best possible life until it comes time to harvest. Each species requires different elements for them to express their unique God given pigness or cowness or chickness... or whatever, but one thing they all have in common is not being eaten or harassed by predators before their designated departure from this earth to our freezer or someone else's! This is where the livestock guardian comes into play. There are many schools of thought on the subject, but here at the TCH (Traditional Catholic Homestead) we decided a livestock guardian dog would be the ticket!
