Colorado ranchers are receiving nearly half a million dollars in compensation for livestock losses due to wolves.
Two ranchers in Grand County were approved for payments. Ranchers can receive up to $15,000 per animal from the state’s Wolf Depredation Compensation Fund.
The fund also covers secondary losses, such as stress-related issues in livestock.
However, the future of the program paying producers remains uncertain due to a state budget crisis.
