Colorado's wildlife authorities say a wolf has killed a calf in Colorado. It's the first confirmed livestock kill after 10 of the predators were controversially reintroduced in December to the dismay of the state’s rural residents.

In the past few years, a handful of wolves have wandered down from Wyoming and killed livestock. “The incident, which resulted in the loss of livestock, underscores the ongoing challenges faced by ranchers in managing conflicts between livestock and wildlife,” Tatum Swink, spokesperson for Colorado Cattlemen’s Association said in a statement.Cody Bellinger hits a 2-run homer as the Chicago Cubs pound the Colorado Rockies 12-2Ranchers and farmers lambasted the proposal as “ballot biology,” arguing that the animals would chomp into their businesses and the industry at large.
