Wolves prefer to hunt old, weak or ill creatures, since they are easier to hunt and take down than a healthy creature. This can actually help the herd, sine old or unhealthy creatures can be a burden to its herd. For example, old or aged caribou eat food that others need to raise their young. Sick elk could infect other members of the herd.
