Cougar kills cow (graphic pic)

Think your right about the cougar...As the crow flies, we are close to your local and have had them on our place that I know of, since 2009...I Have been seeing more sign every year since then too...Kevin, the CO-OP fuel man even saw one here in broad daylight when making a delivery...I think lack of game in the hill's, plus LP knocking the big bush down like there's no tomorrow, might have a lot to do with the cat having to hunt your cattle out in the valley so close to town.

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of 100 pissed off cows attention. Very possible they chased off whatever killed that cow. There was video a few years back of a cow attacking a black bear that had gone after her calf.
Hope the rancher gets compensated. Not sure what a bred 1000 pound Black Angus is worth, but 1400 pound bred Charolais cows sold for $2700 at a sale at home last fall.

I believe we will soon learn that this is very close tied to the 'military exercises' at posted elsewhere in this site. Clearly the non-surgical precision of the wound edges is indicative of adolescent aliens out for a lark after crashing dad's new spaceship in the pond...
Looks like you're in for some night shifts. Don't touch the carcass, and wait for whatever it was to come back. Full moon last night, if you're lucky with cloud cover, I would say 3 am is the usual sweet spot for shooting predators over "bait" at night.
and why would leaving a dead cow in a farmers field be smart? it would attract all kinds of things you don't want and will make the rest of the herd nervous. No species like hanging out with their own dead.
