WELLSVILLE — More than 30 officials from the Utah and Idaho agriculture departments descended on Wellsville this week for a three-day drill on how to handle a livestock disease emergency.

Officials and area veterinarians donned biohazard suits, and collected blood, mucus and stomach-content samples from a half-dozen cows, to practice testing for foot and mouth, a serious livestock disease that spreads fast and would require the immediate killing of any cattle exposed.

Cape Royal on the North Rim provides a panorama up, down, and across the canyon. With seemingly unlimited vistas to the east and west, it is popular for both sunrise and sunset. The sweeping turn of the Colorado River at Unkar Delta is framed through the natural arch of Angels Window. Look for the Desert View Watchtower across the canyon on the South Rim. This popular viewpoint is accessible via a paved, level trail. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn

One of the West's most enduring symbols is fading like a red-hot branding iron cools to ashen gray.

SEATTLE -- For years, the federal agencies that helped the U.S. wolf population recover under the Endangered Species Act have also quietly killed hundreds of wolves that threaten livestock or prized game.

They've even taken to the skies -- and are considering doing so again.

Officials in Idaho said Wednesday they would consider deploying federal sharpshooters in helicopters across north-central Idaho in the coming weeks to kill up to 75 wolves threatening elk near the Montana border.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Black as night and 18 hands high, Clemente trotted up and down the pen as the auctioneer at Mike's Livestock rattled off bids machine-gun style.

The barnyard scents of alfalfa, leather and sweat wafted through the cavernous auction hall just outside Riverside, Calif., where Clemente and dozens of other horses paraded before bleachers overflowing with bargain-seekers, sellers and gawkers on a cold weekend night.

There were whispers of a "killer buyer" lurking outside, buying up swaybacks and broken-down mares to be shipped off for slaughter. A trio of amateur Mexican-style rodeo riders eyed horses suitable for hogtying and tail twisting.

HUNTSVILLE -- The sheep may be taller, outweigh and outnumber the border collies, but don't tell the border collies.

One border collie after another scampered across 12 acres at Kelley Creek Farm Saturday, each herding four head of sheep through panels to see who was top dog.
