Must be killing new born calves. I don't see them able to kill a cow or a calf that has been around for a few days.
My neighbor lost several calves last year to the black vultures, aka "Mexican Vultures". She said that they will watch a cow calve and shortly after birth, fly down and peck it's eyes out. With no ability to see, they die pretty quickly since they can't find the cow.
I looked into getting a permit to shoot them for her but discovered that, while I could get the permit fairly easy, I could only use a shotgun and I had to turn every carcass over to a district station that was set up to take them. Apparently, not all APHIS stations are.
According to the website, the closest one to me is Albuquerque, NM.
So much for that idea as it's a 12 hour drive one way to Albuquerque.
Someone once told me about SSS, so I passed that along to her.
