Red fox love them some baby lamb. Land owner of my lease told us to kill every one we see. We don't have yotes or hogs due to the fencing and govt. trapper but we do have red and grey fox. Greys don't bother the hair sheep but the reds really get after the babies as do the black vultures.
Black vultures are the worst of all on baby lambs. They swarm the ewes as they are lambing and kill the babies by pecking out the eyes and umbilical cord. They even go up in the birth canal on the ewes and pull on her guts sometimes causing her to die. Funny how they migrate thru by the hundreds right during lambing season.

We have quite a few red foxes here. And they come in a lot of color variations. Red with black tips and highlights, red with white tips and highlights, all black, black with white, and even silver ( grey) colored. My sons cat got snagged off there porch by big fox, in broad daylight, while they were standing there.

We had one have kits in the warehouse loft at work. They would spend days on top of the really tall wooden parts bins at work and watch us walk by. A buddy of mine trapped them and relocated them to the barn where he kept his seed to keep the rats and mice out. Two of them stayed in the barn for about 3 years. They never bothered the goats he raised.
