......... Most dogs were just doing their job, protecting their turf, and you have to respect that.
Agreed, but the low income neighborhood my cows are pastures near had an abundance of Chow, Alaskan Husky/Malamute, Pit Bull and others that liked to gang up and chase cattle and kill fawns. Kind of like wolves. They were basically feeding themselves and living off the land. The owners weren't much into buying Purina Dog Chow. Over 30 years we've eliminated about 6 or 7 dozen and it has been months since we have had a cow chasing incident that I know of. I see the poor dogs now tied out on chains. The dogs usually start by following the cows around and eating the milk curd excrement the calves leave but they graduate to packing up and becoming aggressive toward the cattle. No cow can fight off or outrun 2 or 3 determined big dogs. Lead or Conibear is the only solution.
