It appears that a wolf killing 9 lambs near Big Timber merits an attempt to kill it, while a calf killed by wolves near Eureka (The original story headline was "Calf kills wolf near Eureka." I'm sure this has been corrected by now though thinking about it, it would be nice if calves did kill wolves, would solve a lot of problems in the area.), doesn't. I find this interesting. I think one calf is as important as nine sheep but I am a little prejudiced that way, so shoot me. Hopefully both problems will be resolved with the judicious use of firepower.
Surely, serious problems can't be solved just by talking about them. Nigel Short

One Calf Does Not Equal Nine Lambs

Are 9 lambs worth more monetarily than 1 calf? If not, then it probably is the "Cute Factor" that is swaying actions in the lambs' favor.

Approximately 8 sheep = 1 cow in terms of "Animal Units". Seriously, maybe the lambs suffered from multiple "predation events."
