Pretty much Cind, pretty much.

Oh no... Nothing that good! (I do know btw... Ha ha ha)

I wonder what she IS doing though?!

 

I dont have proof, but coyote have been known to take down a kill a whitetail.  I dont think you hear of them killing calves that often because they are in hutches near buildings or they have a cow to protect them.  my neighbor has them in pasture with a 3 stand electric fence, he is not

allowed to restrain his calves with his organic agreement.  A very large coyote is 50 pounds, my largest to date was 42 and the pelt was over 6 foot tip of tail to tip of nose.

 

I am being told that I should wait till my blue andalusian rooster grows up, but please entertain me with what you have for roosters...the wheaten that BF4M has even though it too would have to grow up, I figure it may be easier to ask for forgiveness!

 

 

Mazo, cows are pretty good at protecting their calves.... the calves attached to the little sheds would be 'sitting ducks' for a coyote. Here is what to look for in a coyote kill.

 

 

Coyotes ...

• Usually go for an animal's throat.
• Do not chase cattle.
• Do not kill larger calves or grown cattle.
• Usually kill one animal at a time and feed on it.
• On rare occasions bite the tails off young calves. These "bob-tailed" calves usually survive.
• On rare occasions hamstring a larger calf or deer and feed on the still-living animal. 

 

 

My thought is.... why would a coyote bother with the calves if there were chickens nearby? ;) On top of that, the whitetail will be dropping fawns soon enough..... those will be more appealing targets.

Then DH calls and said he just noticed a call from the PO on HIS phone. The eggs were in Crandon.

 

Great, I had dirty clothes on with coffee spilt on them, Chicken Crap on my shoes and who know what other kind of cdrap, then Buttons jumped up on my lap on the ATV and she had pastey butt !!!!

I had intended on meeting the Post Lady at the corner (my mail box is 1/4 mile down the road) hand her my package and take the package that was out for delivery !!!
