The loss of that calf is a significant loss to the farmer. Dont know if it was stillborn which it might have been. Stan likes Coyotes because they eat a lot of small deer. Deer are another major source of crop damage and hence income loss so I understand his view. So in one area coyotes can be tolerated and another reduced as much as possible. I have not seen any on my little farms near where I live but know they are in the area and so far none are back East on those farms but in time they will be there as well.
Adaptable is one word for them. Wolves would not tolerate coyotes who wont tolerate red foxes who wont tolerate silver foxes. Thats what the Ohio DNR says these days. But who wants wolves brought back into areas they have not been in a century? I know, people who dont live there and people who wont loose any animals when wolves act like wolves.
