KALISPELL - Federal wildlife officials have confirmed that two cows west of Kalispell were killed by wolves.

Ed Jonas is the owner of the Blacktail Mountain Ranch near Rollins. He says he was grazing the heifers on another ranch southwest of Kila and learned of the killings Tuesday.

Kent Laudon is a biologist for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. He says a federal trapper has confirmed the cows were killed by wolves. Laudon says the Hog Heaven Pack was in the area at the time of the attacks, and efforts are under way to remove two wolves from the pack.
