I`ve done the same thing,raising cows with neighboring
sub-divisions closing in on a coupla our farms.
They let their dogs run loose and when they pack up they`ll
go after the newborn calves. I don`t enjoy killing a dog.
I`m trying to survive in a tough line of work
They come looking for their missing darling he`s 2` under
The same for deer. FiFi, Fluffy and fido pack up with a few strays. Cattle and deer have no chance in all the deep snow. After a few warm days and cold nights the dogs (and wolves) run ontop on the crust and cattle and deer are up to their bellies in snow just waiting for the first bite in the neck.
