I’m hoping to get some advice and learn from others who have dealt with similar situations.
How do you successfully deter coyotes from entering your livestock areas without using a livestock guardian dog?

We have goats, chickens, ducks, and a donkey. Unfortunately, my donkey absolutely does not tolerate dogs, so adding a livestock guardian dog isn’t an option for us. Recently, we’ve been having a major issue with coyotes repeatedly getting into his pen. They’ve been digging underneath the fencing, even in his temporary setup.
We moved into our forever home about 3–4 months ago, and this is the first time I’ve experienced this level of coyote activity. We’ve already added fencing along the ground to help prevent them from digging underneath, but unfortunately, they are also digging in from the neighboring side of the property. I can’t place fencing or make modifications on my neighbor’s property, so I’m trying to find other effective and humane solutions.
I’m definitely willing to learn and try different methods. If anyone has experience deterring coyotes without a guardian dog, I’d really appreciate hearing what has worked for you, especially methods that are safe around goats, chickens, ducks, and donkeys.

Thank you in advance for any advice or recommendations!

Ranch life means picking up the pieces and starting again! ⚒ After the storm took our son's coop, we're officially in rebuilding mode, we finished their run but now we have to build them a coop and nesting boxes, with the rain and the heat it makes it challenging for sure. It's more than just a project; it's a lesson in resilience, We're grateful for everyone who checked in staying in tune for the final reveal!

Today, my 5 year old son had an experience at Tractor Supply Co. that honestly broke my heart, My son absolutely loves tractor supply whenever we drive by he gets so excited and even wanted to dress up as an employee for Halloween (they just sadly don't make employee costumes). 💔
We went in during Dollar Chick Days (which we had no idea it was happening), and he was so excited to see the chicks and ducklings. He absolutely loves animals, and seeing all the different breeds including bantams and ducklings they were something he was genuinely excited about getting.
Unfortunately, an employee rudely told my son that all of the chicks had been sold to one individual person, The way it was communicated was completely unnecessary and harsh, especially toward a 5 year old child who was simply excited about the animals.

My son ended up crying because of the interaction, and as a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch.
I do want to acknowledge that I understand employees were probably being asked about the chicks constantly, especially during Dollar Chick Days. I completely understand that answering the same questions over and over can become frustrating. However, frustration is never an excuse to be rude to a child.

If one individual person truly purchased all of the chicks and ducklings and wasn't going to be returning until later to pick them up, then I also feel the animals should have been moved to the back. That would have prevented customers especially excited children from continuing to ask about animals that were already unavailable.
I did contact Tractor Supply's corporate office to make them aware of what happened (they are opening an investigation). I'm not looking to cause problems or get anyone fired. I simply want management to understand that the way employees speak to customers, especially children matters.
We can have compassion for employees who are overwhelmed while still expecting basic courtesy and professionalism.

At the end of the day, my son is 5 years old. He was excited about some baby chicks and ducklings. He wasn't being disrespectful, demanding, or difficult He was asking if he could get some. He was just a little kid excited about animals and he deserved kindness.

A little patience and kindness could have turned this into a happy memory instead of one that ended in tears. ❤️🐥🦆

Last night was a difficult one for our family. During the storm, my son's chicken coop was destroyed. We are incredibly grateful that every one of his chickens made it out safely, but sadly, the coop itself was a complete loss.

Moments like these are never easy, especially when you've poured so much time, effort, and love into caring for your animals. Unfortunately, this is one of the realities of farming and ranching. Nature can be unpredictable, and sometimes all we can do is learn from the experience, rebuild, and come back stronger.

Today, we're counting our blessings that the flock is safe and beginning the process of rebuilding. Thank you to everyone who checked in on us during last night's storm.

Five years.

Five years of muddy noses, happy grunts, endless laughs, and memories that helped shape GlowStick Ranch into what it is today.

Today, I said goodbye to Wanda, at the age of 12 years old.

Back in February, we lost Cosmo at the age of 13 years of. For months, I knew this day would eventually come, but knowing doesn't make it hurt any less. Now they're together again, and my heart is left trying to figure out what this ranch looks like without them.

Wanda and Cosmo were my "Fairly Hog Parents." They were two of the very first animals to ever call this ranch home, alongside Bottles and Nova. Before there was a thriving ranch, before there were all the animals that followed, there was them. They were the beginning.

For five years, they greeted me every morning, begged for mud, food, and treats, made me laugh on the hardest days, and reminded me why I fell in love with this life. They weren't "just pigs." They were family. They were home.

Walking past their pen now feels unbearably quiet.

Today isn't just the loss of Wanda. It's the end of an era.

The Pig Era at GlowStick Ranch has officially come to a close, we will hold your children close and love them extra. Phat girl and diamond won't dare leave her side.

It's hard to put into words what it feels like to lose the last piece of something that started it all. A dream that began with two little potbelly pigs has now become a memory I'll carry for the rest of my life.

Thank you, Wanda. Thank you, Cosmo.

Thank you for giving me five unforgettable years, for teaching me more than you'll ever know, and for helping build the foundation of this ranch. You may be gone from these pastures, but your hoofprints will forever be stamped across this land and across my heart.

I hope you're together again side by side, just like you always were.

The originals.
The foundation.
My Fairly Hog Parents.

Forever loved. Forever missed. ❤️🐷🌈

Every animal at GlowStick Ranch has a name and a very specific attitude! Today, meet the ones who keep us on our toes. Introducing the Ranch's master escape artists, and our ranch wouldn't be the same without them. Which one do you relate to most? 🤣❤️

We have Phat Girl, Wanda, Nova, Diamond and Delilah

Here at GlowStick Ranch, we absolutely love pigs. They are intelligent, entertaining, and full of personality. However, after our experience raising them, we've decided that pigs likely won't be a part of our future farm plans.

Here are a few reasons why:

🐷 1. Feed Costs Add Up Quickly
Pigs can be surprisingly expensive to feed. Depending on their size, age, and the number of pigs you own, feed costs can easily range from $25–$150 per pig per month, with larger pigs costing even more.
We have 10 potbellies and 1 Yorkshire sow and I can easily spend up to $400 easily just on feed monthly thankfully we do have people who give us extra produce and corn to help with the feed.

🐷 2. They're Master Escape Artists
If there's a weakness in a fence, a pig will find it. Their enclosures need to be built strong and secure, almost like Fort Knox, to keep them safely contained.

🐷 3. Pigs Are Highly Intelligent and Social
Pigs are incredibly smart animals and thrive with companionship. They do best in groups, and it's generally recommended to have at least two pigs, though larger groups are often even better for their social well-being.

We have Raised pigs for the last 12 years and while we may not be raising pigs again anytime soon, we will always appreciate how much they taught us about livestock ownership. They are amazing animals that deserve proper care, secure housing, and plenty of companionship.

Have you ever raised pigs?

Before the world wakes up, the ranch is already moving. ✨ From filling water troughs to those quiet moments with the herd, this is how we start our day at GlowStick. It isn't always glamorous, but it's always worth it. Which part of ranch life should I show you next?
