Wolves, Ranchers, and Red Tape: The Fight to Protect Livestock

9/29/2026 Shows ↗ (Jump To Original Content)

Wolf predation is taking a heavy toll on cattle ranchers across America, and strict government regulations often leave producers unable to protect their livestock and livelihoods. On this episode of Trent on the Loos, Trent Loos talks with Steve Porter, board member with Hunters for Hunters, about the rising cost of wolf attacks on cattle herds, the regulatory roadblocks ranchers face after livestock losses, and the policy changes needed to restore balance between wolf populations, wildlife management, and private property rights. Together, they explore the real-world impact on rural communities and practical solutions that support both ranchers and responsible conservation.
