Colorado range riders on the ground as calving season underway, wolf depredations continue
From Coloradoan.com:
Six of 12 range riders hired by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to deter wolves from livestock are ready to go, and the second six are expected to be on the ground by the end of April. For ranchers, the riders can’t come soon enough with calving season underway, wolf depredations continuing and wolves getting ready to den.
The latest depredation of livestock recently confirmed on Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s wolf depredation page took place March 3 when a yearling heifer was killed in Pitkin County. There have been three wolf depredations in February and March, which previously have been quiet times for depredations.
