RalloZ35 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Its now time for calves and there arent going to be as many as last year as we sold a few cows. Last year there werent any coyote problems, only problems were that one heifer kept getting out and it was a fast little thing..lol. Last year one of the cows threw a runt and we still have that cow and I am curious if that cow will throw another runt. So just here to say that hopefully no coyotes come around because nobodys gonna be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Was it her first calf? Calf early or just small? Maybe Dale will check in here, he is quite experienced with running cattle. We have a pretty bad coyote problem here, but to the best of my knowledge we have not lost any calves to coyotes. I try to keep the cows in our front pasture when I know they are gonna calve where I can keep a better eye on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalloZ35 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Well, it was her first calve but when we bought the lot of 5 heifers, one didnt get bred, and the other 4 had calves and the others ones are actually large calves compared to previous years. This calf just isnt really growing much at all, and it wasnt early it was the very last calf we had, we used to never have problems here before, but i hear them almost every night now. They killed and ate a young doe dow in the crick in the pasture( the deer tore my fence up ) but i think I hope itll all be okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
