How big of a nuisance are coyotes?

I've never been anything more than a bird hunter, but I'm moving down to a big plot of land in rural south Texas, where coyotes are everywhere. We saw a pack of three cross our land the other night when we were down there. We haven't re-located our horses from Austin yet though.

Are they a threat to livestock, or just small critters like chickens and such? I'd really hate to drop something that looks like my dog, but then again, we have some expensive quarter horses, dogs, and some other livestock(miniature goats, two longhorns, and an alpaca) that will be in pasture at times.

Do I have anything to worry about, or should I view yotes as a threat? And a dumb question- What do I do with one after I put it down? Burry it?
