Of course, once you kill off all the vermin hunters then you have a wonderful explosion of things like rabbits, rats, mice, moles, and other such disease bearing critters. These are the animals that eat the forage for your livestock.

I ALWAYS shoot stray dogs. I will always shoot a sick animal such as a coyote etal. I will never kill a predator just because it is a predator or because I have a prejudice. They just simply don't randomly attack cows for the fun of it.

I don't have what I consider proof positive information as to sheep/goats. Although all the goats on my in-laws place stopped going down when we started killing dogs and they stopped killing the bobcats and coyotes. There was also more grazing as there were fewer rabbits and other such vermin. 2600 acres in West Texas if you are wondering. Uncle started killing off all other animals again recently and his losses due to lack of grazing for the goats keep going up. Simply amazing.
