Had an out of season calf born this week. Didn't realize calving was imminent or we would have been watching closer. The heifer who had the calf is just 18 months old, management error on our part. She was looking wide but didn't bag up or give other clues. So I heard bawling when I got up, went out to check it out and she was wandering around bawling. We walked around looking for a calf, found a dead one that coyotes had eaten on. What would be clues as to whether the coyotes killed the calf, or if it was already dead and they found it?
