[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 1001304, member: 15043"] Don't count those buzzards out either. Was at a cattle meeting and a women spoke about buzzards taking one of her calves. Maybe the calf was weak, who knows, but the turkey vultures around here are huge and nasty. Anytime I see more than 2 or so flying over new calves and/or afterbirth, I will let off a round from a 12ga into the ground to scare them away. It has worked so far, but if any happen to get real brazen, I would not hesitate to do what needs to be done. It really comes down to any predator that behaves well enough gets to live, but if they step over the line, they will e dealt with accordingly. Bad enough I lost a momma cow this season, I am not about to lose a calf to a predator. [/QUOTE]
