Predator Survey

Dr. Redden, AgriLife Extension State Sheep and Goat Specialist, and I have released an on-line predator survey directed towards livestock producers. This is part of Dr. Redden’s Livestock Guardian Dog project.

As all of you are fully aware, predator pressures are increasing in many areas of the state. The reasons for this increased predation also varies from region to region.  We want to gather information on the scale of the losses, which species are suffering those losses and the predator control costs producers are incurring.

We are asking if you could promote this key survey to your clientele in a newsletter and/or at county programs.
