Cattle Herd Predator Management

What happens here

The creator discusses predator management for his cattle, emphasizing that large cows are not vulnerable to coyotes. However, calves are vulnerable for the first 24-48 hours. He explains that his large herd of 32 cows will collectively attack any predator (including dogs or cats) that enters the pasture. During calving season, he monitors the cattle more closely, especially when a cow shows signs of impending birth (ligaments softening in the rear). He states that he will intervene if a calf is in danger.

Goal: Explain strategies for protecting cattle from predators.
