About this project

Faculty from the University of Wyoming, Department of Agricultural & Applied Economics were asked by the Wyoming Animal Damage Management Board to conduct a two-year economic analysis of predator management in Wyoming.

This report includes sections on trends in sheep and lamb predation in Wyoming, benefit cost analysis for predator management, economic effects on ranch profitability, economic impacts of predator management and an annotated bibliography.

Our final report was presented to the board at the July 21, 2009 meeting in Casper. A Link to this document is provided below.
