It is not coyotes you need to worry about, but dogs. Coyotes normally hunt alone and tend to kill only what they need to survive. Dogs will kill for fun and can decimate a substantial number of sheep. Dogs will attack sheep in packs. All your neighborhood Fido's will gather together for some "fun" and cause a great amount of destruction. My mother raised sheep and suffered a major loss due to a dog "pack". This dog pack went on a tear and attacked several other herds. Dogs are also poor killers and tend to injure a lot of sheep which result in them being put to death.Do you have any predator protection for those sheep yet, or is the fence soon to be electro-fied?
I'm guessing Maine coyotes would eat sheep, especially lambs, like popcorn.
