Indeed. Time to end Wild Boar before even more of that survival genotype gets out in Ontario and establishes 'Wild Pig' critical mass. Cat is already 'out of the bag' in too many places...

@jmleclerc Good to hear 🙂 Keep me posted if problems persist!

@JillianSCraig re: ravens and crows. Things are quiet over last 4 days. Red wing black birds super aggressive towards crows and ravens now... They must be nesting ???. As soon as they fly from one pasture edge to the other they are attacked. New allies 😊

@kinburnsheep @jmleclerc .@jmleclerc let me know if the raven predation continues. We are running another raven trial for 2020, could have some options for you to protect your #sheep

Big show continues. Raven (not crow) is dive bombing one of the mobs. Which playbook is this. Pandemonium ensues. Sheep in a bubble now. Will fix tomorrow.
