I thought that I posted this before but can't find it. Shortly after we moved here we had cattle grazing the BLM land around us. One afternoon we were out back and the herd was walking outside the fence. At the end of the line were several calves following. A few yards behind them was a coyote. Our dog was lying next to me just watching the parade. When he saw the 'yote he stood up. The coyote saw him and stopped. They looked at each other for about a minute then the 'yote started following the calves again. My dog walked toward him until he stopped again. The dog stopped. The 'yote moved forward again as did the dog. The coyote stopped and the dog stopped. They did this dance once or twice more until the coyote turned and slowly walked the opposite direction. The dog waited for a minute or two then laid back down but kept an eye on the calves.
