Ranchers in some states can shoot wolves that attack their livestock. But not in Colorado.

Back in 2009, three wolves were responsible for killing 120 sheep in Montana......

If the cattle are in pastures near the house you could use a pack of 5-6 Kangals with spike collars. They’ll run grizzlies off. They kill wolves. I’m surprised the ranchers aren’t doing that.

The scenario of a lone Anatolian Shepherd wandering into a wolf pack ambush is not realistic. A handful of trained Anatolian Shepherds with spiked collars would do just fine against wolves, but would probably never have to face a pack, who would most likely steer clear of them. The ranchers would still lose the occasional livestock animal to stealthy sneak attacks, but the numbers would be manageable.

How bout a wolf pack hunting down Mr Lone Anatolian Shepherd?

How much does it cost to buy, train, maintain a “handful” of Anatolian Shepherds?
