News - Livestock claims for animal kills in Admaston-Bromley Township are up somewhat from 2013, but the number of kills through October 2014 is about the same. Council learned at its Nov. 13 meeting that coyotes account for the majority of the 46 livestock kills recorded through the first 10 months of this year. The 48 kills in 2013 included 13 cattle, 28 sheep, and five goats, compared to 12 cattle, 34 sheep and two goats in 2014. However, the current total jumps to 96 with the addition of 50 poultry lost in the Bromley portion of the township on May 29. Livestock owners were paid a total of $14,512.03 last year. With the poultry claim of $757 factored in, this year’s total in claims is $19,863.15. “Of course, the dollar value is up

for livestock, which also reflects in the totals,” Coun. Ray Pender said. “Values on cattle are significantly different this year even over last, and last year over the prior year just because of the market of the livestock,” Coun. and Mayor-Elect Michael Donohue noted. Coyotes are a problem in the farming community, They are interbreeding with wolves and getting bigger, Coun. Robert Dick said. One coyote that was shot recently weighed 65 pounds, Coun. Dick added. “It’s a cross-breed. We are seeing more and more of that.” “Otherwise, in terms of coyote kills with livestock, year after year, it remains just about the same,” Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe said. “It doesn’t matter how many wolf hunters you have.” Farmers can shoot coyotes to protect their livestock. Council also heard Nov. 13 that the Douglas Frosty Fun winter carnival will mark its 40th anniversary in February. There are plans for the expansion or addition of special events over three-day event; The 2015 Frosty Fun will be held Feb. 6, 7 and 8.
