[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1828408, member: 25884"] We just found 2 calves out to a pasture that were killed... tracks and all show probably a pack of coyotes... have had coyote problems out here in the past... killed within the last week... eaten down to the bones except the legs... son found one eartag... other one no ears, nothing... just bones...between coyotes and buzzards picked clean. I will not cull their mommas because they did not wean off these calves. They should be bred back... moved the cattle over to a more open section, where they will have trouble cornering anything against some fences... this was an area along a creek and somewhat bottlenecked... we also have a problem with black bears out there destroying the round bales of hay in the one hayfield.... Owner doesn't allow hunting... but we are going to talk to him about the coyote problems... calves were 300+ lbs... early summer calves that were doing pretty good considering the dry conditions. He said the cows were spooky acting too... We are going to probably start running a few more mules out with the cows now... It stopped the problems with the sheep this spring... never had this much trouble out with the cattle before. Need to find some "mean dog stomping" mules..... [/QUOTE]
