It is hard sometimes. We had some problems 4-5 years ago. 7 dogs and seems all have disappeared except the 2 leaders. I have never found where they came from. Most of the bunch was 3+ miles from home.True Grit Farms":19szluug said:An AR 15 is good for assaulting dogs. How hard can it be to track a pack of dogs down?

Neighbor called me, and said it was going on. I honestly didn't believe her. I was wrong. I broke it up, and it took 3 days for the cow to die. They completely ate her vulva, and tore her neck all to pieces.
For all the negative stuff I have posted herabout donkeys, I currently have one that does its job. My own dog won't get out of the ruck, or off the 4 wheeler, when she is around. Somebody gave it to me to rope. We roped it about half the summer, and turned it out with the cows in late fall. It's got a home here as little my as it wants. I hadn't seen a coyote since I turned it out.

That's exactly how they do it. And if there's water or mud for them to run her into, they'll sure do that too. They'll just stay on the edges and harass her till she's bogged down from trying to keep facing them and eventually just settles down into it. Nose neck and ear wounds are pretty good indications some kind of canines was after one and here, it's almost always someone's dogs but sometimes feral dogs..sometimes bite marks are right above the hooves.Bigfoot":6sx3v8qj said:I lost a full grown healthy cow to 3 dogs one time.
