Around here the enviros planted the Oplamato Falcon and then started telling the ranchers what they had to do. The stupid ranchers accomodated them and then they just became more shrill and demanding. They had to move their cattle off the range when the birds started mating. The funniest thing of all is when they moved the cattle the birds abandoned their nests and followed the cattle.
But something had gotten there before him. Everywhere he looked, it seemed, there was a sheep that had been attacked and bloodied.
"It was terrible," he said. "Some of them just had a chunk of flesh tore out, in some cases clear to the bone, the size of an orange.
A few were bit in the neck."
A few of the sheep could be doctored, but many of them died... of the 60 that were attacked, 21 died and 39 were injured.
On top of that, the percentage of ewes with twins dropped from a typical 45 to 55 percent to around 20 percent, which will mean a serious blow to his business.
"I think that trauma had a lot to do with it,"
