[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 747474, member: 3162"] Relax. That is first a foremost. Coyotes have been all around me, in the pastures where cows are, and they have never been an issue with calves for me. They come out when I am brush hogging and catch rats/mice. Mine are spread out over a hundred acres most the time. If this gal is bred to a low or normal birthweight bull, my guess is the best thing to do is leave her alone. Some of mine look as tho they are about to pop any minute and they can go another week. Others barely look close and come up with a calf at their side. 14 heifers have dropped calves so far this year and none have needed anything. If you happen to see her lay down for a bit, get up, and then lay down again shortly thereafter, it is a sign she is getting ready to calve. Most also go off by themselves in an isolated location. Not all do this but most do. [/QUOTE]
