Coyotes can come out at any time. Sometimes they will yip at night. I love them:) I see them once in a while around here. They are pretty clever and usually keep out of sight. I'm not really too worried about them, maybe with newborns, I have heard they will take down the calves around here. Many people keep donkeys out with the cattle, that should take care of it, other people shoot them. I have no worried with the mules around, it sounds like your Icelandics took care of them. Really, there is more of a problem with them eating cats, chickens, small animals, that's always been my experience. In California we had tons of them, I lived in the high desert and they would yip every night, it was kind of haunting. I hear them once in a while around here. Kim
