Wolf Attack on dairy farm Addy/Cedonia rd

[buckcanyonlodge]

You will be hearing more about this in the coming days. Dairy farmer on the Addy / Cedonia rd. has had wolves attack cows and calves in pens above the farm. WDFW is said to have visited the site. A local that is a friend of the dairy owner told us about the alledged attacks this AM

It was just a matter of time. More of the same in different locations will come I'm sure.

A wolf can chase a 20MPH deer or go after a cow weather penned in a field or on the range there is a reason cattle are called slow elk they taste good! To us and wolves.  Wolves were killed 100 years ago and it's not because people are afraid of them like the lame editorial I read in the Methow paper this week want's ever one to believe! The huggers like to tell us how smart wolves are but then say it's the rancher's fault for there loses, But NO wolves are smart and WILL kill the easiest prey possible. So like I said 20MPH or 2MPH you figure which one they will go after every chance they get.

   When wolves chase the bison and other wild herds, they generally pick out the slowest---what the huggers would call the sick/old/weak.  Cows are much slower than elk or deer, so the wolves think they found a lot of 'sick and weak' animals.
I thought the WDFW prediction for 2013 was for only two livestock incidents?

Probably just another cougar attack.

Again, just like last time, this is no surprise. It's going to become more and more a regular, every day occurrence for people who live with the wolves.

Why these things always seem to start some sort of controversy, I will never understand.

Wow! Again! This is crazy.  I wonder why our forefathers killed all the wolfs long time ago?

[bobcat]

The controversy starts with lies from WDFW.   

I don't believe they lie. They may question someone during the investigation. Just because they don't believe 100% of everything Joe Blow tells them in regards to a possible wolf incident, doesn't mean they're being untruthful.

I agree.  Everyone knew this would happen and be as bad as elsewhere.  It's what wolves do...in their DNA.  Flags, rangeriders, fences won't change the nature of the wolf.

Why these things always seem to start some sort of controversy, I will never understand.

Mostly because of how downplayed livestock incidents would be from the WDFW.  They tried selling the wolf plan on really optimistic numbers for almost any interaction with domestic animals.  Maybe they thought if they showed the wolf more love it would be kinder and gentler in Washington than the other areas.

Which dairy farm was that?  The one that's just as you start up from the Cedonia side or one of them on over the summit?  My new house is just a spit from there and I'll be roaming around that area during the turkey hunt.  Guess I better keep an eye on the wifes small dogs.

It was the over the summit toward Addy.... Have not heard anything else yet.

Last wolf I saw in that area was by where the Addy Gifford Road crosses blue creek.   Standing in a field full of cows by the way.
