Managing the Gray Wolf

Managing the gray wolf continues to be a priority for the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association. Executive Director Ashley Kohls says the association is focused on the rule-making process. “The comment period closed in July. We have weekly discussions with the Department of Interior to keep the gauge on where they are with comments for the outcome.” Kohls says there were about 2.5 million comments submitted for the rule. “The agency is telling us it is favorable for the actual de-listing of the wolf. We hope it will continue to trend that way. We’re paying close attention, but it will likely be December before we know.”
