[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 1756657, member: 4203"] some thoughts: that cow looks to be 5 or maybe 6 years old. first calf? straight brahma horned cows that can't fight off a predator seem kind of useless to me. but then there is the strong possibility calves aren't dead from predation, coyotes may just be cleaning up from something else. I agree with 50/50 if coyotes get the opportunity to take calves they will so if they are in the area stealing chickens and feasting on dead calves, they may decide to take some too. but in general coyotes don't take live calves. especially with good mama cows around. I would maybe go ahead and shoot coyotes that are hanging around too blatently, but game camera is a good idea, as is getting the next dead calf into a vet/lab for a professional look see in case you have some disease problem.
