[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1829113, member: 24816"] Coyotes will bite into the throat/neck of sheep, and bite the head of lambs. My guess is that it’s coyotes. Not understanding all of the details but from what I’m piecing together coyote may have came across the calf and killed it by by suffocation ie biting and holding onto throat or in this case of a newborn calf it’s nose and causing fatal damage. The cow may have heard the commotion and came back and ran the coyote off after the kill, thus preventing more signs of predation. Dog attacks are generally just a gruesome mauled mess with no rhyme or reason to the carnage. They also tend to chase and attack several animals. Tearing at tails hind quarters of running animals. Then if they get something down they’re just all over it, if there’s more than one dog. [/QUOTE]
