Cougar are not likely to attack a 1200 pound horse. The biggest they like to tackle is deer. Not saying they could not do it. Risk of injury is just too great. We got cougar problems galore here in Oregon. About 25 years ago hunting with dogs and baiting were outlawed. At that time there were roughly 500 state wide. DFW estimate they are 5,000 now. Probably closer to 8,000. Now there is not enough land to support them. The real dangerous ones are the young Toms unable to find a territory of their own. A very regular occurrence where I live are desperate young Tom's stalking rural school bus stops. Taking something that large is just not something you will see. There are plenty of less dangerous targets for them to select than a 1200 pound horse or Bull or Cow elk. When they get desperate they tend to focus on the least threatening prey they can find. I hope you folks never face the problems we do. 90% of our population is in Eugene and Portland,that covers some single digit fraction of the land area. Out of state environmentalists showed a few commercials of botched hunts and got a ballot measure going. They all went back to LA and SF. The people that voted for it have not had to deal with the problems either. Yet . It is coming though. I am not in favor of them being hunted to extinction or even back to a population of 500. I am in favor of putting the dogs or baiting on any that become a danger. Our kids were told that if an adult was not at the stop stay on it until you come to a stop where there is one. We are always at war with DFW game wardens. We have killed 4 young Tom's in the last 4 years. We all chip in to pay the fines. We are being threatened with a RICO case now if we don't stop killing cougars. Problem is the contract hunters do not come out until there is a human attack or multiple livestock losses. I am not sure about your state but in Oregon there is no liability to the state for any loss from bad wildlife laws that lead to loss of money or life.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
