Here in the western U.S. where sheep ranches tend to run into the thousands of acres, predation by coyotes can be devastating. About 20 years ago, the ranchers began importing llamas as "guard animals". The results have been amazing... in some cases the ranchers reported loss percentages dropping nearly 100%.

One site says; "...The llama is roughly twice the size of the alpaca and the llama has a very coarse outer coat over a softer inner coat - as opposed to the alpaca, which has a very fine, single coat...", which makes them even more effective with the bigger coyote (and city dogs) as well as the longer distances to patrol...
