Rogue Wildlife & Habitat Consultants

Attention Livestock owners! There are some simple things that can really help reduce problems between your livestock and predators. I know for the most part we all do our best to maintain our respective stock but I would just like to make a few helpful suggestions that are cheap and effective... Well in comparison to dealing with lost or injured livestock.
1. Take the time to make sure your fence lines are in good working condition and whenever possible make needed repairs quickly.
2. If you have a paddock or barn where you put your animals up at night keep a radio on talk radio at night loud enough to easily hear from outside. It is super easy to set a radio up on an auto timer to come on an hour before sunset and go off an hour after sunrise.
3. Utilize game cameras in an effort to monitor predator movement on and around your livestock area. Predators often frequent a given pasture or paddock before they actually make a livestock kill. Cameras are very affordable and with today's technology it is very affordable to get multiple cameras with remote live feed capabilities.
If you have any questions on cameras or setting them up or under the unfortunate set of circumstances deal with livestock damage contact Rogue Wildlife & Habitat Consultants asap.

If you are thinking about trying food-plots or any form of native seeding now is the time to be getting started. If you are looking for advice on what seeds produce well, amending soil, proper seed bed preparation, or just general wildlife habitat consulting in Southern Oregon send me a message.
