Wildlife worries dominate discussion at Woolgrowers

RBC | The potential introduction of wolves into Colorado dominated discussion for a second year at the Rio Blanco County Woolgrowers annual meeting.

While the sale price for wool is up 16 percent, and grazing fees are down, there wasn’t much more in the way of positive news shared at the meeting. The industry faces threats from regulations related to bighorn sheep, wolves returning to the state, and lawsuits from environmental groups like WildEarth Guardians.
