[QUOTE="danl, post: 360144, member: 229"] I found a 3 week old calf dead at the edge of the pasture this afternoon when I went to check on them. The whole back end had been eaten off the tail was even gone. Last night the calf was nursing and running around fine. I have seen some dogs in the next pasture over recently. But my Brangus cows don't tolerate anything in the field with them. I'm getting ready to go dog killing if any are around. Calf's eyes were clear no foam at the mouth or anything so I'm kind of ruling out dying on its own. Too young for blackleg, I think and legs didn't feel crunchy. It wasn't tore up anywhere except the backend though which puzzles me. The ground was pretty undisturbed, I'm not too good at reading sign though. There might be some tooth marks on its neck, not sure. Any advice before I go off the deep end and kill all the neighbors dogs? Wasn't shot- pasture is way off of the road and over a hill. I moved them to another pasture that doesn't have any thickets or woods in it. The one they were in has some thickets I've been cleaning up, and the calves like to go there. My handicapped ( see wobbly calf post) was laying 100 yards away undisturbed Dan [/QUOTE]
