Now with the hiring of Murray
Walton as a wildlife management
specialist, TDA is able to work more
closely with Texas sheep and goat
producers, the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service and universitites
to help identify the cause of livestock
losses, whether it is disease, starva-
tion, exposure, predation or other
reasons, and then to help producers
choose the control technique — or
combination of techniques — which
will work best to control further
livestock losses.
"The TDA was recently notified
that Texas would be the third state to
obtain approval from the U.S Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency for
the break to take.

noted.
“For example, in Sutton County, in
the heart of the state’s sheep and
goat-raising region of West Texas,
TDA has determined that the cost of
maintaining a fully-trained dog on a
500-acre pasture, protecting about
100 sheep, would be roughly $500 a
year. The coat of using 50 of the
Livestock Protection Collars in the
same pasture, including annual
registration fee and the labor costs
associated with inspections snd
record keeping, would be more than
$1,200 per year.”
To launch this Predator Control
Program, TDA will hold about 10
training sessions toward the end of
February and continuing through
March in the counties experiencing
the greatest predation losses on
sheep snd goats. These all-day
sessions will allow local producers to
review the various causes of live-
stock losses and how to manage
them, as well as provide them with
information on using guard animals.
Information on the Livestock Protec-
tion Collar will also be available.
Once that round of training is
completed, a new scries of training
sessions will be set up to run next
August through December.

Ticks and lice rob performance
and profits on cattle. Winter coats of
hair often hide heavy infestations of
these parasites. Spraving early in the
winter for lice and tick population
control is recommended. Use a
recommended insecticide and wet
thoroughly with a high pressure
sprayer.
Control of biood vectors also is
helpful in spreading diseases such as
anaplasmosis.

should not be made dose to existing

nation both in the number of sheep
and goats and in wool and mohair
production, as Texas ranchers now
produce 3.6 million animals and reap
annual sales of more than $150
million,” Texas Agriculture Com-
missioner Jim Hightower said re-
cently.
"Unfortunately, Texas sheep,
goat and lamb producers also lose
more than 190,000 animals, valued
at over $9 million, every year to
predators — many to coyotes.
"Now it’s time that Texas leads
the nation in developing and imple-
menting a sensible, comprehensive
and effective predator control pro-
gram — a program that balances
ranchers’ valid concerns over live-
stock losses with the equally valid
need to protect wildlife and the
environment," Hightower said.
"The program that we are announ-
cing emphasizes the proven success
of guard animals, such as dogs,
donkeys and llamas, to reduce
livestock losses.
