Had a cow to calve early yesterday morning. I had checked on her and the calf right before we left for church. Got home and had lunch, and I happened to walk outside and heard a cow bawling like crazy. Looked down toward the creek, and she was surrounded by vultures trying to get her afterbirth, which was still hanging out. She was fighting them. and one was also apparently trying to get on the calf. I grabbed a rifle, and by the time I got to gate, she was running away from them. One paid for his crime, the others stayed clear after that.
