I thought the OCFA determined the reserve program was useless and getting rid of it?

The Sheep and the Goats don’t care so much for the Coyotes and Mountain Lions, however the ‘Herder’ gets to practice his targeting and mid-short range shooting skills.

FYI… Goats are better, because sheep tend to eat the roots, and then during heavy winter rains, you might have major run-off issues and landslides.

Where does it say that Coto and RSM are on the “hot list”?

Using sheep sounds like a great idea. I remember 10 years ago or more they had goats grazing on the hills near Cooks Corner.

I wonder how the goat and sheep do with predators like coyotes and mountain lions?

I didn’t see anything that said Coto and RSM is on the “hot list”.

Here’s a tip: use sheep for brush control. They are very low maintenance and just need water and lots of weeds. They will completely clear out all the low brush that would take lots of expensive hard labor to do otherwise.

Are you listening RSM, Coto, Dove Canyon? The last major fire there was 1980.
