Any animal can crash a local ecosystem if not managed properly. Cattle especially so. Go look at 95% of cattle ranches and see how they're decimating pond and drainage banks.

You ever have any Great Pyrenees?
My lgd is a pyranese kommondor mix. I'll be breeding her with a burnese next time she's in heat. I'll end up keeping 1 or two pups around just to pull carts for tree planting and such
Any wait to get a GP
Dm me if you're near Missouri, I have sources.
Used to have a Pyrenees named Roxy. Best dog ever on the prairies. On the coast now so Boerboel bitch. I have no critters to herd or guard atm but for some reason don't feel right without a workbuilt dog around.
Depending on what you're trying to do, karakachan has been an excellent all around homestead dog for me. Great at guarding, can do some herding, does well at mousing, friendly to people (except delivery drivers lol).
As far as I understand cattle are "designed" genetically to cover a vast expanse of land, like a state or a small country.
They must migrate so that the ecosystem has time to recover, and to benefit from and process their manure.
Nowadays that process is replaced by an industrialized system that does not resonate with Nature.
