My favorite time of year had some heart break this morning with the first CONFIRMED WOLF KILL of the calving season!!
This is why it’s so hard to accept Mexican wolf reintroduction.

Moms Ranch Too and there’s no daycare to protect our kids from Mexican Wolves.
But according to Western Watersheds NGO these are not wolf kills.
USFWS let this pack den between two ranch homes where children live.
Making short work of the calf crop and severely injuring the cattle if not killing them. Western Watersheds did an article on this mom, liable doesn’t even begin to describe that article. They are still harassing all ranchers with wolf depredation to the fullest extent of their ability.
Ted Turner rescued this pack and put them on the ladder ranch in 2021, subjecting all his neighbors to this pair and a full litter of pups that have never been captured and collared. In 2022, they ended up on a ranch in the black range in a den with a new litter, it was harder to kill cattle with the LGD’s but they still tried. the 2022 black fire kept the two ranchers dealing with them out of the burning pastures. This pack is gone now. Died natural deaths. Those six pups are still out there. unmanaged uncollared, unaccounted for.
This page will also feature the two horses this family have lost to Mexican wolves. under construction. 4-H horse killed by spree killed by wolf pack at historic family ranch. Western Watersheds is also claiming these are not wolf kills.

We could hear them killing from our bedroom. People say we aren’t doing enough to protect our livestock, what do you think?

Unknown Uncollared Mexican wolf? USFWS said nope wasn’t theirs, eventually they collared it. Cattle try and protect their calves this is how it works out for them.
Historic multi-generational Catron Ranch Now contending with wolves.
Even the WOLVES that are actually diminutive, as the so-called environmental groups call them, are killing cattle. most have bite spreads larger than this. And no, they do not always kill to eat, very often there is surplus killing and the ranchers are paying for it.
whitewater canyon pack 2020
In 2019, they wintered in our heavy cows in deep snow, and we were not told they killed 17 calves from our bred early calf crop before we learned they were there. No one from USFWS or USFS told us they were in the cattle, we could not get into them anyway because the snow was deep. When it thawed this is how we learned they were on us and eating our calves and cows. This calf was in the road telling us they were here. then on and on it went.

Wolf Kill Walking, On the Cooney Prairie, Catron County.
This is a typical kill that ranchers have to find still walking around, having provided a meal for a wolf or two. They don’t always die right away. You won’t find PETA having anything to say about this though. If they did, they would blame the rancher. Remind us why we are being forced to live like this again please.
This poor calf doesn’t know she’s dead yet.
