Wow, I don't think my family has ever lost a fully grown cow to a coyote. Calves are hard to tell. Usually by the time we see them walking around, they are ok. Sometimes an old heifer will die giving birth. I see coyotes all the time, but I only see them eating cows that are already dead.
I was picking blackberries last summer and saw a pile of coyote dung. The coyote had apparently eaten a turtle, shell and all. That pile of poop looked like it hurt a lot coming out. Ouch.
