Owning a herd or flock is an investment in your farm and livelihood. It is important to protect this investment, and at Crystal Livestock Company, we find that the most effective and rewarding form of herd protection is a dedicated, hard-working guardian dog. We have used our own guardian dogs, including Great Pyrenees and Anatolian shepherds, for many years. Consider using one of our purebred, devoted guardian dogs bred right here on our farm.
