Wolves in the Netherlands feed mainly on wild animals, but also target grazing cattle in areas with less prey
From Phys.org:
Wolves in the Netherlands mainly feed on wild animals such as wild boar and red and roe deer. But in areas such as Drenthe where these are scarce, they also prey on free-roaming cattle used for nature conservation. This is according to new research analyzing wolf scat across the country.
The research (in Dutch), carried out by Leiden University’s Center for Environmental Sciences, the Leo Foundation, the University of Antwerp and the Dutch Mammal Society, gives a detailed picture of the wolves’ diet in 2023.
