[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1381994, member: 25884"] Had a group of 6-8 go after a first calf heifer that had calved down in the field. People staying in the house there, are not really cattle people, but went down on the 4 whlr and saw the buzzards all around and the heifer going around in circles to keep them off. They called me, I was on my way home from testing and went there. Stayed around til the calf had nursed, then momma took it up into the patch of woods headed to the water trough and things were okay after that. Have had them come in under the big shed roof at a farm where I was raising bottle calves one summer, and pecked them in the rear and were literally eating one alive. Pecked out the eye of another...Several of them never managed to fly off with the rest. They are the most hateful, despicable, things there are. They do not just clean up like the naked neck turkey buzzards; they kill. Look it up on the internet, lots of stories about them. There are several states that are getting them excluded from the exemption so that they can be killed, and some places you can get permits to do it legally... [/QUOTE]
