"A small nonprofit with an innovative approach to predator-livestock conflicts is trying to ease Colorado ranchers’ concerns about wolves."
"DEL NORTE, Colo. — On an overcast spring day, Keri Brandt Off was helping her friend, Kyler Brown, move and tag his cattle when a heifer broke loose from the herd.
It charged at a cowboy tying down her calf, who just managed to tag the baby cow’s ear before scrambling back to his horse.
“She’s just gonna stomp the shit out of a wolf,” Brown exclaimed in delight.
But a few producers have been buoyed by a little-heralded approach to predator-livestock conflicts: changing how they handle their cattle so that the animals respond differently to predators."
