Around here that is certainly not the way buzzards work.
I'm just taking a guess... A bobcat did the head skinning. Cats do that. Big cats like a cougar would have ate more and not the head, and then tried to cover the carcass with whatever was available.
If you have lots of coyotes like you mentioned, they would have started feeding at the other end. And they would have done alot more feeding than that. But I'll bet they will be coming now.
I would have put out my trail cam immediately and maybe get some good pics.
I would also just guess that whatever killed that cow, was not the same thing that ate the head. Unless that cow was very sick and easy pickin's.
