Impacts on livestock a concern; wolf advocates point out ecological benefits
Montezuma County commissioners are concerned about the potential impact of reintroducing wolves on livestock and big game populations.
Chris and Rodney Majors cattle are driven along Colorado Highway 184 from their summer grazing land in this file photo. Ranchers are concerned they could lose livestock to predation when gray wolves are reintroduced into the state.
A gray wolf rests in tall grass in this undated photo provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Voters approved Colorado Parks and Wildlife to reintroduce wolves to the Western Slope by December 2023.
