[QUOTE="novatech, post: 744445, member: 5494"] I have had coyotes around most of my life. I have never heard of proof that a coyote ever killed a calf. I heard a lot of assumptions. I have watched coyotes around herds with newborns and never saw aggressive behavior. I am not saying that coyotes won't kill one but this is my observation. The people I have talked to, wildlife experts, say that as long as there is available natural food ,rats, mice, rabbits, other carcasses, etc.) they will not mess with calves. They will however use calves as a food source when they cannot acquire their normal diet. Once they have found the easy meal it may become a habbit and thus a major problem. Buzzards however are a much bigger threat around here. I have observed them attacking a newborn, pecking their eyes out, and then waiting for them to die. [/QUOTE]
