“Black vultures have been giving cattlemen problems for quite some time, particularly in north Alabama,” Erin Beasley, of the Alabama Cattleman’s Association, said. “They are a predator to livestock in that they attack calves when they are born.”
The Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries is permitting livestock producers to kill up to three black vultures this year to prevent the birds from attacking newborn calves and weak animals.
Erin Beasley, executive vice president of the Alabama Cattleman’s Association, said the problem is spreading. So far, no kills have been reported. Moody said that is probably a matter of timing since the program started in April. The sub-permits cover black vultures, not turkey vultures, which are also common in Alabama and are distinguishable by their red heads. Black vultures weigh about 4.4 pounds and have a wingspan of about 59 inches.
