Black vultures watch when cow is close to calving By Victoria Pike of Miss Vicky's Pampered Angus Ranch Thanks for the post on the vultures gathering. They were at the Hunter Place Farm this morning bothering the cows. Seems they were eating from the manure piles any undigested corn. The girls weren’t happy about them being on their territory and I ran them off. Farmers need to start keeping an eye on their livestock with calving season here. The vultures know when a cow is close to calving and will sit on fence posts and watch her until she gets down to have the calf. At her most vulnerable moment they will attack both cow and newborn calf. Sometimes before calf is fully out. If you see this happening, try to stop and find the farmer and let them know. I keep an eye out in my neighborhood and have everyone in my phone to call if I see them gathering. - VP Current vulture policy notes below taken from the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife: "Turkey vultures (red heads) do not take live prey - they only feed on animals that are already deceased. However, on occasion, black vultures (with black heads) will feed on live prey - usually newborn or sick and dying animals. Predation on livestock by black vultures ... has been seemingly increasing in recent years. In general, vultures are attracted to livestock birthing sites to feed on the afterbirth and stillborns ... sometimes healthy newborn calves are taken. Livestock producers who are concerned about vultures gathering at birthing sites should use loud noises to scare vultures away. "Black and turkey vultures are protected by federal law and cannot be killed without a federal permit. If black vulture attacks on livestock are documented, landowners can apply for a permit to reduce the black vulture population on their farms (fee required). The permit is issued by the USFWS, but in order to start the application process, landowners should contact the USDA Wildlife Services at 502-254-1592. Please take photos of the damage whenever possible to accompany the application. As of June 1, 2015, there are also sub-permits available through the Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) for no cost..."
