[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 610878, member: 3162"] I had one of the brindle cows calve about 10 this a.m. All was fine. About 4 there were buzzards all over the ground when I was checking some heifers. The brindle was laid up with the calf by themselves, surrounded by birds. By the time I got through the gate and dug out the Winchester the buzzards had left them. I didn't even get a close enough look to see if they had white spot wings or not. The cow was about 1/4 mile from where she dropped that calf so there was no afterbirth or any other colorations near her. Hence I figure them for Mexican buzzards even tho I didn't get verification. I've got some 3 inch mag 2 by 4 special loads for turkey hunting. I am going to load the old full choke 12 gauge and start carry it to the pasture. Those # 2 shots will reach out and touch someone. The # 4's scatter well for normal range. I don't shoot the turkeys anyway. May as well use those. They are very effective. This is my third calf in 10 days. All heifers. The '09 season seems to have started a bit early. All three of these calved in February last year. I left the bull with the cows because my neighbor has an angus that will circle the place through several fences. Dad used to tell me that if a fence would hold water, it would hold goats. The north fence against that angus bull is almost waterproof - so he circles through two neighbors. :mad: :mad: [/QUOTE]
