    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    First of all, thank you for your kind words, it is nice to know, that I'm doing something good for once. Regarding the fencing, I have been looking into it. Maybe some sort of blanket, that can be put over wired fence, that can somehow extend it a few feet upwards and secure the fence. But at...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Sorry if it sounded as such, but I wasn't trying to undermine the importance of dealing with the coyote problem. Both wolf and coyote pose a threat to the farming community in Denmark and USA respectively. But, imagine if the calf/cattle were wearing vests or some similar protection, that would...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Regarding the actual idea, The ingredients used in the spray aren't dangerous for the cattle, and they won't have any long lasting effect on the quality of the milk or meat. With that said, you DO have a convincing point when it comes to the cow disowning the cattle because it smells weird...

    Alright, so a lot of points to cover, so I'll answer in two replies. First off, , not necessarily a repellent only, but something along the lines. And you guys have already given me a lot of valuable information, so it seems to work. Second of all, yes I am from Denmark, and no we don't have...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    - But I would like to bring this back to the question; Does anyone know of a substance, that can be applied to a fly-rub device, that can stick to the cattle without creating "gunk"? Once again, I am looking for things that you have noticed keeps getting stuck to your cattle or have heard of...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Exactly, indiscriminate killing destroys the social structure, which is "plus" for the coyote as a species (i.e their numbers increase,) but is a minus for the farmer since the young coyotes are less experienced and bolder. And since they don't know the reason they're being killed is directly...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    You're right, as so far that coyotes rarely - if ever- kill adult cattle, what I mean to do is to "coat" the calves, which are at risk. Also, the formula isn't "chemical" per se. The things in it have been consumed by most people throughout their lifetime.

    That actually sounds perfect for applying this stuff, question is though, how common are these rubs? And how often are the rubs sprayed?

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Well, I agree that coyotes are by nature opportunistic and predatorial when it comes to finding food, which is what has led them to figure out livestock is a great source of food in the first place. But what I also believe is, that there is a difference between the boldness of the different...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    You're right, it was explained too simplistic, and yes there are many variables that might affect the population of coyotes, still I believe, that indiscriminate killing does evil than good. As you may know coyotes and other canines typically have alpha- female and male type of breeding, where...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Don't farmers already apply anti-parasite measures to their calves, that don't cause these kind of problems? How many times are these applied a week? And although, I do enjoy hunting I hate to break it to you, but coyotes have an evolutionary measurement exactly against a thinning population...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    I can't give you the precise details, but it is basicly a combination of a deterent and a poison, that is non-lethal to humans and livestock but lethal enough to either make the coyote vommit and have fever-like symptoms or die, depending on how much is sprayed on the animal. The reason this...

    Anti-Coyote Measure - What Sticks To Calf Hide In The Rain?

    Hello, I am currently considering making an anti-coyote measure, which is meant to stick to calf hide. I already have the active ingredient that is meant for the coyote. But a problem I have incurred is, that obviously for the substance to be a success, it must also be economically viable both...
