The neighbor is having quite a few calves dropping lately and somedays I'll see 10-20 buzzards on the ground near the herd's feed area, which is unusual. He says they are there for the calf manure. Several years back, we had our hayfield leased to a cattle farmer who was running cows on it and he lost several new calves to buzzards, as they pecked out the eyes. He was fuming mad at them. I'm no livestock hand, but I don't like seeing a gang of the damn things staring at a new calf while it lays on the ground a stone's throw away.
You guys have any problems with them?
