Oregon wolf cattle kills rise in 2025, but state lacks funding for proper payments

The Oregon Legislature could erase the shortfall during its upcoming 2026 short session via a proposed increase in the state’s lodging tax. “We need hats in Salem,” said John Williams, co-chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association Wolf Committee.
