An Idaho rancher lives with his cattle in wolf country. Can Colorado ranchers do the same?
From AspenPublicRadio.org:
Glenn Elzinga operates Alderspring Ranch in May, Idaho — a 46,000-acre rangeland where he grazes 300 to 400 cattle.
Shortly after wolves were reintroduced in Idaho in 1995, Elzinga and his wife began losing livestock, and he considered leaving the agricultural industry altogether.
But inspired by Charles Marion Russell, a painter known for depicting cowboys and their close bond with livestock, Elzinga began riding alongside his cattle, guiding their movements, and protecting them from wolf attacks.
