I never heard of buzzards killing calves until last year. Heard one guy lost one and I figured the calf was already dead before the black buzzards started eating on it but then a good friend of mine said he had a cow standing in a field watching 2 black buzzards on the ground and he figured she had a dead calf. He went out there and the calf was still alive but the buzzards popped both eyes out and he said the calf ended up dying from it. So I guess the black buzzards are a lot more aggressive than the turkey vultures.
