JACKSON COUNTY, Colo — For the first time in eight months, Colorado's wolves have killed livestock — and for the first time, that livestock was sheep.
North Park rancher Brian Anderson told the Coloradoan on Saturday that Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed three of his 100-pound lambs were killed by at least one wolf early Friday morning on the ranch about 5 miles south of Walden.
Anderson said the confirmation was made by a local wildlife officer through a necropsy that showed canine teeth marks and telemetry data that pinpointed one of the state's two collared wolves being in the area at the time of the kills.
Messages left with the state wildlife agency on Saturday to confirm the killings were unanswered as of Monday morning.
