A farmer is happy

[Grizzly Adams]

Good work, I'm surprised a coyote could get a calf, I've seen cows chasing bears.

Newborns are very vulnerable, sometimes they'll chew on them, while they are being born. Not much the cow can do about that.

I'll take your word for it that it does happen.

I've spent a large part of my life on a multi-generation farm and never seen or heard of it. Although the coyotes around here have been shot at on sight for over 100 years, so they run like the hounds of hell are after them when they see a person.

Cows can be pretty aggressive, like I said, I've seen them chasing bears and the lead cows going head to head with wolves.

How many yards was the shot, factory loads or roll your own ?

I don't think that it will matter in a Liberal's eyes. It's still a "scary looking sniper rifle". Haha!

Excellent photo, they are a different animal than our guys out here for sure.

Here we have those coy dog coyotes with the wolf blood in them and are are much bigger than western coyotes and unfortunately a deer is a joke to them. They didnot take moose initially but do now. Here sadly they even killed a lady in 2009
Take care

Around here, beef cows commonly calve in the open, protecting them from coyotes is a major chore, day and night. First thing to do is pick up the after birth, a predator magnet. Mama's not about hanging a lickin on her protector either. Know a few people , male and female with scars to prove it.

That was taken by a guy here in November on a trail cam. They proceeded to eat 150 pounds of his deer apples he was bating with
Take care

My cows generally ate the afterbirth right after licking the calf clean. And you are correct, a good beef cow living on pasture isn't in a visiting mood with a new born. I used to try to tag the calves at birth or soon after while easy to catch, decided it wasn't worth the risk.

Thanks everyone

Got my lesson when I was about 10 and helping out on the uncle's farm. We headed out with the pickup find a newborn and he made me wait in the truck. He drove up next to the calf and threw it in the back and we took off. Thought mama was going to climb inside the truck.
