post #18, yes buzzards will prey on sick or downed animals before they are dead but come on you're making it sound like the are hunting in packs, chasing down healthy cattle, and decimating all live stock. They keep the possums and armadillos cleaned up from the roads so I'm good with them. I was raised on a farm with cows chickens and goats and never not once had a problem with buzzards attacking them. But of course we kept our animals healthy and took care of them when they got sick or injured. Buzzards are attracted by the smell of decomposing tissue, the smell of internal organs in short the smell of death. I have seen buzzards on another property on a new born calf but they were attracted to the afterbirth and unfortunately the momma cow hadn't moved the calf away from the birth spot yet they were in no way hunting for the newborn calf
