Years ago, I actually saw it happening from about an 8th of a mile away. One of our cows had just had a new calf when several coyotes decided to try to get the calf. The cow went kind of crazy and started jumping around, trying to stomp the coyotes or drive them off. I was yelling and approaching at a dead run, so the coyotes took off. Unfortunately, the cow had, in her wild jumping around, landed on the baby calf's head with a hoof. By the time I got there, the calf had quit breathing, and I realized that there was no chance of saving it. I just left the dead calf there and within a couple of days, the coyotes and magpies had completely removed it.
I gunned for coyotes for years after that and downed a few. But that was the only calf loss we ever experienced from coyotes.
