[QUOTE="Cow_Town, post: 452581, member: 6011"] I am in an area where Coyotes are very numerous due to the fact that noone has even hunted for them in years. I hear them regularly at night and sometimes in the morning. There is a place back in the cedars only about three hundred yards from the house that is littered in coyote poop and from the evidence its apparent that it is a kind of rendezvous point for them. My point is that we have not lost a single calf and neither has any of the surrounding ranches. The deer are not bothered either when they have their fawns, as any mortality is not noticable. I just have a hard time seeing how anyone should have the need to run a " protection " animal with cattle. It makes no sense. If your cows have no more mothering ability than to allow a puny coyote or two to take her calf then she needs to be culled anyhow. Tigerstripes eliminate anysuch thoughts for me. Most of the " coyote " kills are actually your neighbors dogs anyhow, and in that regard I practice preventitive maintainence on the dog population around here. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
