The calf was a newborn, of the Highland cattle breed, and was found in a pasture.
- It has been attacked by one or more wolves, says Kjell Stålberg, inspector at the County Administrative Board in Örebro.
It is unclear whether the attack was by one or more wolves, and attacks on cattle in particular are relatively unusual, according to Stålberg.
- We have provided information to the animal owner about compensation for the killed animal and will carry out emergency measures during the day with patchwork to prevent wolves from entering and taking additional animals in the pasture.
It is a line with pennants on it, which has traditionally been used in connection with wolf hunts and usually works for a limited time.
They avoid it, says Kjell Stålberg.
