[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1454019, member: 24947"] So sorry for your trouble. We have a lot of coyote's and to my knowledge have never lost a calf to them. Although they pretty much ran us out of the sheep business. Me and my uncle killed over 60 in a three month period. I disagree with a earlier post that coyote's don't leave a trace. With the exception of very small lambs. A grown Barbados sheep wieghs about 80 pounds. And we would almost always find remains. If your pasture is big enough that you can't reasonably search it all. I wouldn't rule out that the calves are simply being bedded down out of sight. You can tell of course by looking at the cows to see if they've been nursed. If you can search your entire pasture and can't find any remains. I wouldn't suspect coyote's. [/QUOTE]
