Body

National losses to predators of beef cattle and calves on farms and ranches with 20 or more cows and market feeder calves or yearlings were investigated. Data are from a sample survey of about 1,800 producers in five major feeder cattle regions. Losses to dogs, coyotes, and all other predators were estimated. Percentage losses are small, but financial losses reach into millions of dollars. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
