Colorado Parks and Wildlife gave six burros to a Jackson County rancher in an attempt to decrease wolf depredations on his property, the division announced Thursday.

Don Gittleson in Waldon experienced three wold depredation events in December and January, according to CPW. After the last event, Gittleson and CPW Wildlife Officer Zach Weaver met with the Animal and Planet Health Inspection Service to come up with a plan.

Gittleson received two gelded jacks and four jennies. The burros, which range in age from five to 11-years-old, were from the high country in Nevada and adopted in Utah. They will be introduced to Gittleson's herd of cattle once they become acclimated to the climate and altitude, according to CPW.
