CPW is working with livestock owners in that area to collect evidence such as scat or tracks in the area. If it turns out that wolves were responsible, CPW will work with the cattle owners to haze the wolves away from the livestock. 

CPW says that as of now, the reintroduction plan for wolves in Colorado has not officially started.
