Ah, Gila! Everything that I have seen on the ground makes me think that livestock can't be beneficial for an ecosystem, be it a desert or a forest. All I have seen from cows in the west is damage. The times have changed. The economy is different. The priorities of the country and people's attitudes have changed (conservation). It is time to get cows off public lands where it makes little economical sense. BTW, in your case it is not grey wolf, but even a more endangered mexican wolf, correct? These are critically endangered, if I remember correctly.
