WOLF Act of 2025

This bill, titled the WOlf and Livestock Fairness Act of 2025 , aims to amend the Agricultural Act of 2014 to provide critical support for livestock producers whose herds are adversely affected by Mexican gray wolves. A key provision increases the indemnity payments for livestock lost due to attacks by Mexican gray wolves, ensuring producers receive 100 percent of the market value of the affected animals. This measure seeks to fully compensate producers for their losses, addressing a significant financial burden. Furthermore, the legislation establishes a new emergency relief program specifically for producers impacted by Mexican gray wolves. The Secretary of Agriculture is directed to develop a formula for distributing this relief, considering factors such as herd size, confirmed depredations, increased management costs, and decreased birth rates due to wolf activity. The Secretary must also consult with relevant agencies and submit annual reports detailing the distribution of emergency relief, ensuring transparency and accountability in the program's implementation.
