I had vultures circling one of the pastures yesterday morning. Went over and there was a calf dead. There was no mama throwing a fit or mooing but I had tagged two newborns in that pasture the night before. I'm assuming since no one is in a dither or looks like they have calved with no calf on them that it was a twin to one of the new ones. It had gotten up and walked but I had not tagged it (which I do the first day). It had not walked a lot, but the hooves showed signs.
I'm trying to decide what got it. The back half was completely gone - pelvis, legs, etc. The organs were gone but it did not look like the vultures had been there long. The ribs forward were pristine. No marks to the head or hide. No punctures like coyotes played tug of war. Something bit the spine in two cleanly without gnawing it apart.
Is that mountain lion? They are rare but I see one about one a year around here.
It was just like something out of a movie. I half expected there to be crop circles in the beans nearby. What do you guys think?

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
