Reducing Wolf-Livestock Conflict - Increasing Ranch Resiliency
Why is it that 28 years after the reintroduction of wolves into the Greater Yellowstone Area, we have yet to create a collaborative and lasting environment for wolves, livestock, and people to share the landscape and thrive? 

​The root cause behind the WHY is what Working Circle addresses. Practical approaches that reduce vulnerability in cattle to predation with co-benefits to the ranch in terms of efficiency, efficacy, and economy provide a pathway to meet the decades-old coexistence challenge.  In addition, the practices we advance are long-term, resolving the unsustainable outpouring of resources of money, time, and effort. Our comprehensive model is a win-win for all stakeholders. Together, we have the opportunity to lead the way in creating a new legacy in the West—one that promotes a brighter future for large carnivores, ranch families, and the working lands they call home.

"You are giving new hope to the decades old challenges wolves and ranchers have faced."
~ Colorado Rancher, 2021
Coexistence works when the ranch works, and the ranch works when the business works. For this reason, our approach considers the whole ranch picture and focuses on practices that support the overall ranch goals.

It is time that we shift away from reactive wildlife management to proactive ranch management. It is here that long-term coexistence success can be found and we can ensure ranchers can stay ranching for generations to come. 
"You are the only ones that have bothered to take the time to truly get to know us, involve us, and understand our challenges. Ranchers are not about wanting to kill wildlife, on the contrary we take great pride in providing healthy wildlife habitats and preserving open space from urban development. It is our lands that host the elk. deer and much of the habitat that wolves need to survive, and we just want to be able to survive ourselves. The Working Circle model is providing real-life solutions along with an acceptable coexistence approach for ranchers that not only supports and improves livestock operations, but helps the wolf by making the wolf a “non-issue” for ranchers, thus protecting them long-term. My heartfelt thanks to you and your commitment to our efforts."
