Yours won't keep the black buzzards back. They catch the cow calving and kill the calf and eat the ass out of the cow.
Yessir they'll wear that ol' cow completely out fightin' at them while the others are killing the calf. Calf doesn't have a chance.
Absolutely correct!! I've seen it for myself. Those nasty a$$ birds will worry the heck out of the cow, while she's calving/trying to clean the calf and kill that calf while going after the cow. They are as bad as, if not worse than, a pack of wild dogs.
Sounds to me that either the calf was born dead or what you saw were Mexican Vultures. Which are a whole different bird that the Turkey Vulture which is a scavanger and they are the ones with the ugly looking red head and neck. The black buzzards are all black, a bit smaller than the Turky vulture and do tend to resemble a Raven.
