Northern Colorado Ranchers Report Deadly Weekend for Livestock Attacked by Wolves

  • Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed investigations into wolf attacks on livestock across three ranches in Pitkin County last week, including deaths and injuries to calves and cows.
  • These attacks follow Colorado’s reintroduction of 15 gray wolves in December 2023, with the Copper Creek wolf pack reportedly responsible for most depredations, and four released wolves having died so far this year.
  • Incidents include a dead and injured calf at Crystal River Ranch on Friday, a dead calf, a missing calf, and injured cow at McCabe Ranch on Saturday, and a severely injured calf and cow at Lost Marbles Ranch on Sunday, in the heart of the calving grounds.
  • Ranchers described being blindsided and under emotional strain, with Ginny Harrington stating, "This is not sustainable," while Colorado Parks and Wildlife deployed range riders trained to monitor livestock and deter wolves.
  • The events highlight ongoing challenges balancing wolf restoration and livestock safety, suggesting that further measures and final investigation results from Colorado Parks and Wildlife are awaited.
