[Jacob-list] Bobcat!

[Shannon Phifer]

I know a farm that raises Boer goats and they had full grown does being taken 
down by bobcats.  They would attack and grap the jugular and hang on until the 
does went down and died.  They would then eat ONLY the mammary tissue.  They 
trapped a handful of bobcats and now they have a pair of Anatolians.  Haven't 
had any problems since.  Before I heard this, I didn't think a bobcat could take 
down a full grown goat or sheep.  Hopefully you don't have any problems!

Well turns out this evening around 6:30 PM my gentleman friend saw a bobcat 
slinking around in the sheep/goat pasture.
 
My lambs are half grown, but goats much smaller - pygmy's that are only 10 
weeks.  I figured not to chance it and brought all of them in the barn for the 
night.  

 
Now my question is  When my lambs and goats are full-grown, can a bobcat still 
take one down?

You live by writing your poems on a farm
and call that farming.
