A wily visitor




This afternoon when Mike stopped by the Farm he noticed something out in the hayfield. Upon further investigation we found it to be a handsome and very curious coyote. While this isn't blog-worthy for a lot of the country it is interesting at Wagner Farm. Growing up I actually lived in a place that still had a bounty on "vermin". The damage a pack of coyotes could do on a new born calf is easy to imagine. To see a lone hunter out in the middle of a hay field foraging is a flashback to a time long ago when this place used to be "wild" too. Now it seems so foreign to see something untamed like a coyote in our midst.
