Coyote control
I'm a sheep rancher in Western Kentucky, I use llamas. Was losing 2-3 head a day back in 2004. Put the first llama to work the 3rd of July that year, predator attacks stopped within 3 weeks. Have three llamas now, haven't lost another head since.

I've only got sheep/goat guard llamas for sale at the moment, but am going to expand into cow/calf guard llamas in the near future. The selling price reflects the time it takes to condition the llama to the species of stock that it's going to protect. Sheep/goat guard llamas take a full year of conditioning, at which time they'll sell for $500-$600 depending upon age. Cow/calf guard llamas take longer, the price will be proportionately higher. They can be conditioned for birds too; chickens/geese/ducks/et cetera - but I'm staying out of that arena.
If you know of any unwanted male llamas - preferably gelded - down your way, let me know. I buy trainable llamas whenever the price is right.

Coyote control
I've got a 9 year old right now that I'm sure goes over 400 pounds and stands over 7' tall. And unlike owners of "domestic" llamas, I don't cut out their fighting teeth. They've got sawtooth molars that would make a barracuda jealous. Plus their imposing height, big feet, and tendency to spit as a warning, gives coyotes and pack dogs a very good reason to pause.
Llamas are genetically predisposed to be anti-canine; blood enemies, so to speak. But they're territorial enough to run deer/snakes/squirrels/skunk/possum/coon - even turtles - out of "their" pastures soo. They've got balls bigger than brains sometimes, as they've been reported to go after big cats and bear out west. But at the same time, they're completely passive towards us two-legged critters.
I'm only about 60 miles north of you, making it economically feasible to buy down your way. But like I said, if the price is right.
