guard bull

[grass]

will my beef calf make good prediter deterant for my chickens ......i got them kinda all tied together in a fenced area chicken runs on the side of my bull pen ...and i was thinking leaving the garage door open allnight for the calf.thinking that maybe a coon or something might just walk right by him for the chickens...i got all the animals setup in my 24'x48' pole building

Not sure I would use him as a guard animal. If he is awake he may try to play with the coon or small prediator and hence chase them away but, if he's asleep he probably won't know a thing.

i doubt if he will keep the varmitts away at nite.but he might do some good during the day.

burros, donkeys and lamas make good watch guards, so do geese. Our burro "Donkeyhoate was a great watch dog/donkey. Geese sound an alarm that you can't miss.

Good luck
