	abstract = {This paper describes a technique for modifying sheep and or goat behavior to reduce canine predation, management time and fencing requirements under mixed-species stocking.  Procedures to modify behavior of individual animals are outlined.  The concept involves bonding small ruminants to cattle to produce a cohesive group termed a flerd.  A flerd acts as a single interdependent cohesive livestock unit under free-ranging conditions rather than as distinct flocks and herds coexisting in the same area.},
