tlbradford, i wonder if thats a regional thing having to do with the size of all animals involved, available food, etc...B/C when this happens around our place, and the area where I grew up, the yotes will kill them both more often than not, the scent of the afterbirth will lure them in, and one born at night with any complications has little chance. I have no clue as to why they would do it here and not do it in others areas of the country. Intersting huh?
