Rams, Bears & a Growing Guardian Pup: This Week on the Farm

Episode 14 brings a concise farm update: a Komondor livestock guardian pup is thriving, lambs are enjoying their first time out, and the Blue Cochins won’t start laying until next year. The hosts discuss ram safety concerns, plans for a ram shield or rehoming, and arranging butchering and transport.

Predator pressure is a major theme — bears, coyotes and bobcats have been active — so the episode covers electric fencing, deterrents (strobe lights, alarms, peanut-butter baiting), securing barn access, critter cams and other practical steps to protect the flock. The show closes with notes on gear, trailer options, and the host’s recovery progress.
