Southwest Indiana cattle losses due to black vultures By Sara Dzimianski Purdue Extension— Perry County Recent losses of cattle – especially newborn calves – by black vultures have been reported by local farmers in southwestern Indiana coun- ties. Farmers should be alert to predation possibilities by the large birds, and should become familiar with ways to reduce damage often caused by these predators. Two species of vultures inhabit southern Indiana. The best known species is the beneficial turkey vul- ture. However, there is an- other species of vulture that is increasingly a men- ace to beef producers. The black vulture is a smaller but more aggressive vul- ture that is characterized by black feathers, except for sil- very-white primary feathers that show during flight, and a brown, gray, or black feath- erless head. Black vultures usually flock together, some- times in the company of tur- key vultures. Native to the southern United States and South America, black vul- tures have been spreading northward into the Midwest and New England. Black vulture populations have been on the rise since the passage of the Migrato- ry Bird Treaty Act. As the black vulture population in- creases, the threat to live- stock rises. In southern In- diana, we have seen a com- bination of black vultures moving into the area and an increase in total population of vultures. Unlike turkey vultures, which only feed on carrion, black vultures are known to attack infant livestock and wildlife, particularly new- born calves. Typically the vul- tures will attack the eyes first, blinding the calves, and then proceeding to other parts of the body. They have also been known to attack cows as they give birth. When chased off, black vultures will stay near- by and wait for their opportu- nity to return. Black vultures are pro- tected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so it is il- legal to shoot them without a permit. Depredation per- mits may be obtained from the Region 3 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Permit Office that will allow the capturing and kill- ing of nuisance birds. There is no permit needed to scare or herd vultures away from livestock. Control methods that are reported to work include habitat modification to re- move easy roosts for vul- tures, hazing with red la- sers, and hanging the effigy or "fake" carcass of a dead vulture in the area. Livestock guardian dogs, traditionally used for pre- venting predation of sheep and goats, may be useful in reducing losses from vul- tures. Great Pyrenees, Ana- tolian Shepherds, Marem- mas and related breeds of guardian dogs are well- known for their abilities to prevent losses in sheep and goat herds. They are effec- tive against most types of predators, including preda- tory birds. While not tradi- tionally used with cattle and other large livestock spe- cies, some small ruminant owners who also own cattle report success in keeping the dogs with cattle. Regardless of the meth- od used for preventing loss- es, close monitoring of live- stock aids in the mainte- nance of a healthy herd. For a depredation permit, contact the Migratory Bird Permit Office, 5600 Amer- ican Blvd. West, Suite 990, Bloomington, MN 55437- 1458, call 612-713-5436 or email: permitsR3MB@ fws.gov.
