Have you seen the Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs) around at local farms and ranches? (Maybe even on a tour with Delve) They're cute, they're furry, and they're incredibly effective at keeping livestock safe from predators.

But LGDs weren't always part of the Texas ag scene - they were only introduced in the 1970s and 1980s, and after some initial bumps in the process, they have really revolutionized the keeping livestock here in Texas.
