I've had a calf that was attacked by a wolf before. Injuries were lower down on the leg towards the hamstring. Found it in one of our corral systems in the field where it was cornered. The wolves were chased off before they finished and consumed it.
Also had a horse killed by wolves and same attack injuries lower down in the legs.
That sure looks like a big chunk taken out up higher than I think wolves would do. Could be as others have suggested or just injured on something, piece of machinery, etc.
Hopefully you find some answers and it doesn't happen anymore.
I could post some graphic pictures on another thread if some are interested sometime. I usually never post anything as far as pictures go but wolves and I have had a history.
Best of luck in your investigation.
