I'm so mad I can spit nails! Lost my first calf of the year!!!! dang it! Heifer calved 2 weeks early, coyotes got to it and we found it dead. I could kick myself in the hind end. It would have been my first Mucho Dinero calf!
We seen the bull breed this heifer so never dreamt she was due to her A.I. date. Didn't even see her start to bag up until it was to late!
whew...I don't feel 100% but at least I feel a little better.
I know in Ohio the county extension office will investigate the kill, and if a confirmed coyote there is a small payout you can get. It's no more than a couple hundred, but might help a little. There is a three day report period where I live.
