Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Wolves sought after killings Wildlife officials are tracking wolves in the Reed Point area after a verified kill of a sheep and goat at a ranch north of the town this week. If found, one wolf will be shot and the other collared and released to gather information on its travels. A kill permit also was issued to the landowner. Because wolves have not been seen frequently in the area, trapped wolves may be fitted with radio collars and released so biologists can follow them, learn where they came from and whether they are part of a larger pack. This is the fifth incident in which wolves have attacked the rancher's sheep - a total of 15 sheep and a goat have been confirmed killed. Herders and guard dogs have not prevented the depredations....Thank you Mr. Cheney.
