Coyotes are the leading cause of predation losses in the sheep and goat industry.
The collar is the most selective method available to manage coyote predation on goats and sheep and can only be used by specially certified LPC applicators. This collar is attached to the neck of sheep and goats. When attacking livestock, coyotes frequently bite a sheep's or goat's throat where the toxicant-filled rubber bladder is positioned. One advantage of using the LPC is that only the coyote that is actually attacking the sheep or goat is killed. Other coyotes that may not be killing livestock are unaffected.
