Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging community members to attend the upcoming University of California Agriculture & Natural Resources Livestock-Predator Workshops. The first workshop will be Tuesday June 9 at Jackson Civic Center. The second workshop will be held at 891 Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas on Wednesday, June 10th, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  The workshop will focus on practical information and tools to help ranchers better protect their livestock and navigate predator-related issues.

UCCE Central Sierra is hosting two workshops for ranchers who want to learn more about managing livestock in the presence of predators like gray wolves and mountain lions.
Topics will include:
Gray Wolf Ecology and Behavior, Livestock Conflict, and Lessons from Northern California by Dr, Kaggie Orrick, UC Berkeley.

Economic Impacts of Gray Wolves / Compensation Programs, by Dr. Tina Tate, UC Davis

Mountain Lion Deterrents Research by April Wood, Utah University

The Sheriff’s Office also works closely with the California Rural Crime Prevention Task Force (CRCPTF), a statewide partnership focused on rural and livestock-related crime prevention. More information can be found at www.crcptf.org.
