I've not known any of our scrawny southern coyotes to kill cattle, but I shoot them anyway for good measure. I've seen them meandering around our cattle and the cows will watch them without showing alarm. I figure they follow the cows around to eat the yellow cheesy calf doo. A coyote would probably take advantage of a newborn calf if his mama had walked off. Big dogs are a different story, but we haven't had that problem for several years.
If cattle and sheep are available you can just bet the wolves will concentrate on them. Slow footed and easy.
Why don't y'all just shoot them and walk off and most importantly don't talk about it.
