California’s growing number of wild wolves killed or injured dozens of farm animals across the state in 2026, so far, according to the latest report from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The CDFW updated its Wolf-livestock Depredation Investigations and Determinations report on Sept. 21. Of the 137 livestock depredation investigations performed this year, CDFW officials determined that 68 were wolf-related.
“The goal of LDIs is to determine the cause of the animal’s injury or death,” the CDFW said. “LDIs involve assessment of physical and circumstantial evidence. Trained investigators examine the carcass or injured animal and search for signs of an attack (e.g., premortem bites and tissue hemorrhage, evidence of a chase and struggle, etc.), as well as conditions potentially unrelated to predation, such as disease or prior injury.”
Cows and calves represented an overwhelming majority of the livestock killed or injured by wolves across California. However, the report also recorded wolf attacks that involved four alpacas, one horse, and seven lambs or sheep.
