The Initial Attack is Often Just The Beginning.

After spending a couple weeks trying to heal up this cow, wolves pulled her calf out of her while she was in labor, they ate parts of her anatomy as well. She survived the initial injuries, but it isn’t a good prognosis and likely she will have to be put down. Weeks of investment and humane care down the drain.

2-22 to 2-24 One wolf One weekend.

Freshly relocated Mexican wolf slams NM Ranch with a Double killing. Eating only the udders of grown pregnant cows. The black cow was in labor, she was fought by the wolf bitten on the nose and legs went down and while she died of shock, he ate her udder and pulled her calf. The red cow was heavy bred and on the edge of a rough stretch of terrain, he worried her off the side and the fell while he bit her face and legs and the rolled down, while she died of shock he ate her udder. The agency claims they re-released him because he was mated up with his full sister in Arizona. Not because of the two confirmed kills he was involved in in 2024, science says there’s usually 7 more per confirmed.

It is suspected that he was tranquilized, due to being close to Silver City NM then moved by vehicle up to the region he was occupying the week a day’s walk from this small family ranch.

The agency implied he had bad teeth. But did not choose to keep him in captivity. No Mexican wolf has been removed for stock killing since a 2021 between the agency and the NGO’s.

Ranchers be dammed.

Mexican Wolves Trash Late Winter New Calves on NM Ranch.

1-2-25 to 2-2025 Before the three strikes rule was revoked ranchers could have this wolf or wolves removed.

Often when a calf is small and not found within 24 hours this is all that is left. Ranchers are bearing the cost of this program’s success. Our cattle are being taken for their prey base.

There is nothing co-existing or non-lethal about this.

Mexican Wolves Impact Calving Season on Historic Ranch.

This poor mama cow was set upon by wolves last night. She was either in labor or close to calving, whether she will survive or not, depends on how badly she was injured when they exhausted her until she went down then pulled the calf from her.

Historic Slash Ranch New Mexico, first known wolf attack of the year. This is an example of non-lethal, coexistence management. It is a take of private property, and the cattle suffer immense cruelty, pain and terror. This has to be stopped.

Surplus Killing of Cows by 2 Mexican Wolves Documented in SE Arizona

Tammy Smith:

WOLVES KILL 7 COWS ON 1 RANCH IN SE AZ!
On 2-5-25 seven (7) cows were found dead in the Tex Canyon/Bruno area after 2 wolves were recently released. The attached videos document evidence of 5 kills all within 150 yards of each other. The other 2 dead cows were found near a dirt tank and half way up the canyon where the large kill site was found by Steven Smith,Hagen and GradyClemson. The kills were obviously staggered by evidence of the carcasses. Official tracking of the Collared Mexican Wolf places the wolves in this area. Today the entire area is covered in wolf tracks. Wolf investigators were sent in to examine the grave yard of cows. 1 cow will be “recommended as a positive wolf kill” but the other 6 head apparently didn’t display enough evidence to identify the same. Final determination will be made by a review board in the days to come. FYI: We know of other cases where wolves have stressed a mature cow, got her down and left her there to die without killing her. Most of the time they don’t even bother to eat her. We believe that this might have been the case of a couple of these cows judging by the way they were laying etc. Stay vigilant out there and remember that documentation and prayer are your best weapons to fight against this evil agenda to destroy the rancher, his family, and his livelihood! Stand respectfully bold and strong…be counted…and persevere!

4-H horse killed by wolf pack at historic family ranch.

Editors note: This particular ranch is over saturated with wolves, and the new management scheme of letting them subsist off our livestock with zero management lets them get by and not migrate with the elk. Instead they kill everything else plus all the elk babies. There are too many in this area, the plan was to have a self sustaining wolf population in Az and NM and northern Mexico, instead allowing them to subsist off cattle and horses, and small family ranchers, they have artificially created a predator sink in certain spots. This is one of those spots. Then when the rancher has enough and kills one he is targeted and his grazing rights revoked. They are creating this deliberately. Its not about self sustaining wolf packs in the SW. in a natural setting.

24 hours after Taylor learned her horse was dead! Taylor is standing here with tears rolling down her face as she looks through the bag that contains Pickles tail hair, horseshoes, and the horseshoe nails! That’s all this little girl can do is cry!
We are prisoners to these damm wolves. My kids are worried to hear what the wolves will kill next. We have 7 wolves literally 400 yds from our house at the ranch. This horse was killed 400 yds from our doorstep!!! How in the hell is this right???
This mamas heart is breaking right now! All the tears that have been shed, and the threat these wolves do is TOTALLY WRONG!!!
Last I knew we live in AMERICA!!!

CONFIRMED WOLF DEPREDATION

Here’s some pictures of Taylor’s mare “PICKLES”. This little mare was only 6 years old. She died a horrible death. Her entire throat was hemorrhaged from multiple wolf bites. Her entire back legs were covered with bite marks. She was spree killed not eaten.
No animal should have to endure this. No parent should have to watch their kid start screaming as I choked up out of my mouth that her horse is dead and wolves killed it.

I am pissed off that liberal people can put natural born apex predators on our landscape right next to our homes and schools😡
We had just seen this mare 12 hours earlier in the evening and she was just fine. To watch your daughter scream and cry after hearing that her horse died was one of the toughest things as a mother I have had to endure. To anyone who thinks that we need wolves in and around our residences, and in our towns you are pathetic. For USFW to allow these wolves to free run not even a mile from our public schools??? This is wrong!!! Wolves aren’t the pretty little furry cartoons you think they are! They don’t belong in town and around our horses and livestock!!!
