Llamas are usually not the type to protect cattle because cattle tend to be big and intimidating enough to predators to be able to take care of themselves. Donkeys (females usually preferred over males) may be used, however, to protect calving cows and baby calves from roaming predators. However, even the momma cows themselves are good at being very protective of their calves, especially if they are beef range cows.

Llamas are best used as livestock guardians for sheep and goats because of their aggressive nature towards predators like coyotes, wolves, cougars and even bears. But when llamas aren't enough protection, livestock guard dogs like the Great Pyrenees are even better against such large adversaries as bears and cougars when protecting their flock.
