I found this group of photos to just be incredible and lucky to have caught on camera. Of course its at one of our waters and right at our driveway. The calf was rescued by those longhorn cows and her mother, a hornless cow. The wolf can be seen circling around to get at her again. The calf was protected long enough to be hidden by its mother.
As of this morning, 8 days after the attack, we put the poor little thing down, she had gangrene, wolf bites are seldom not fatal.These wolves are artificially inseminated, bred in captivity, pups cross fosteres into wild dens, fed at each den piles of zoo logs until the pups are large enough to help kill calves and elk calves.
protection for the rancher is the law
