[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1754055, member: 24816"] It’s different here now. Used to be domestic dogs were the biggest threat to livestock. They can and will run cattle and injure them or cause them to get sick from being run. They could destroy a flock of sheep or goats in one night. We’ve lost several goats to dogs. They either killed them or mauled them so bad they had to be put down. I agree that in a lot of cases coyotes are caught eating a carcass and get blamed for it, but they absolutely will kill calves if they get a chance. The coyotes here I believe are a different animal than ones in the southwest, these are bigger. Used to be it was a common occurrence to find roaming dogs and frequently they caused problems. Now it’s rare to see one, even though there are many more houses around and most everybody has a dog/dogs. Fortunately, it seems most folks are better about keeping their dogs contained than they used to be. I think part of it is on the count of so many coyotes, and they are known to kill dogs. [/QUOTE]
