Colorado Parks and Wildlife has confirmed that one yearling heifer was killed by a wolf or wolves in Grand County.
Officials with CPW confirmed this most recent depredation on Saturday.
CPW posted the incident on its Wolf Depredation Report webpage on Sunday. CPW defines any depredation as physical trauma resulting in injury or death.
According to local sources, the most recent depredation occurred on the same property where five other cattle have been killed.
This marks the seventh depredation event in Colorado since wolves were released, involving a total of nine cattle.
CPW recently created the depredation webpage to inform the public about confirmed wolf-livestock depredations. The page lists each time wildlife officials confirm a depredation event.
