While a lone wolf or a pair of wolves may kill a limited number of cattle, it appears that a pack of wolves normally pays less attention to these animals. This is one of the findings in an ongoing study that was started in 1976 to deter- mine the interaction that takes place between wolves and livestock, particularly cattle, so that Alberta Fish and Wildlife can more effectively understand and control the wolf-livestock con- flict. Although several indepth studies have been carried out on the interaction between wolves and big game, the Alberta study is the first to emphasize the wolf-livestock relationship. Because most wolf attacks on cattle in this province take place on grazing leases in the Peace River region and in a few other forest-agricultural fringe areas, the study site is loca- ted southwest of Valleyview in the Peace River region. It includes seven grazing leases, which 2 2 vary in size from about 5 km to 53 km , and which are adjacent to or near the Simonette River. The mean annual density of cattle on these leases during the May through October 2 grazing period is 14 - 18 per km . 'hone (403) 427-2127 - (cont'd) - ydlbcrra AGRICULTURE Communications Division.
