New range rider helps protect livestock from wolves
Program funded by USFWS grant
In an effort to re
duce wolf-livestock con
flicts in Wallowa County,
a new range rider will
accompany cattle graz
ing in areas of the Imnaha
w olf pack this summer.
The cooperative
demonstration program
between ODFW and area
livestock producers is
funded through a $15.000
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice grant intended to help
livestock producers take
pro-active, non-lethal mea
sures to reduce the risk of
wolves to livestock. While
not a panacea, range rid
ers have been shown to
help reduce livestock losses
to wolves in other states
where they have been used.
ODFW w ill use
part of the grant money to
reimburse a livestock pro
ducer $4,950 for a range
rider he is employing to
monitor his cattle on public
and private land, haze away
any wolves near cattle, and
help keep other area live
stock producers informed
about w olf activity. This
range rider will also moni
tor other livestock produc
ers’ cattle on private and
national forestland when
w olves are in the area.
ODFW will regular
ly share wolf location infor
mation with the range rider,
*
who has also been equipped
with a radio receiver to pick
up signals from any of the
three wolves in the Imnaha
pack with a radio collar.
The range rider
began patrolling forest al
lotments in the Imnaha
Wildlife Management Unit
on July 7, working from
early daylight through dark
on most days of the week.
ODFW also continues to
have an employee moni

area most evenings. “This
range rider is a first for
Oregon’s w olf program,”
said Russ Morgan, ODFW
wolf coordinator. "ODFW
is committed to working
with livestock produc
ers to find practical solu
tions to wolf depredation”
“This is a non-le-
thal measure to limit wolf-
caused livestock losses that
has not been tried in Or
-T H R E E
egon," said Rod Childers,
Oregon Cattleman’s As
sociation wolf committee
chairman. “We want to do
this to try to limit livestock
losses to wolves during the
summer grazing season.
