Study links [Oregon] wolves to livestock revenue losses and increased costs
From PortlandTribune.com:
A new study supports the concept that Oregon ranchers face significantly higher indirect costs from wolves than the value of confirmed and probable livestock kills. The Oregon State University Extension Service analysis also showed that ag operations facing heavy wolf pressure may have costs that exceed typical income from ranching. Surveys indicated some producers relinquished private leases in areas with high wolf populations.
