Predator Control a Concern

               The Glasscock County Animal Protection Association, a group of producers in the area, was formed to support trapping of predators in Glasscock County. County commissioners continue to fund two trappers with help from the association. In addition to coyotes, bobcats, and other predators, hogs are now moving into the county from the north and south.  Hogs are very destructive to field crops, deer feeders, water facilities as well as sheep and goats.  Community support of the association is needed.

               The membership fee is $75 per year.  If you have animals, please add $15 a section for cattle, or $30 per section for sheep and goats. Make checks payable to GCAPA and mail to Glasscock County Bank, Box 90, Garden City, TX 79739-0090.

              The two trappers are Richard Batla 354-2654, mobile 213-2488 and Ron Cohan, 432-353-4898, mobile 816-5251, if you need their service, please call.  John Dorsett is the supervisor out of San Angelo, (325) 655-6101.

              Please share this information with anyone you know who may be interested in predator control. You may contact Glasscock AgriLife Extension office for more information at 432-354-2381.
