Uh oh, I hope things are all right.

There comes a time when anyone who owns livestock realizes they have to place the welfare of their own animals above that of someone else's animals. I hope you'll call the sheriff ASAP.

After I found out who he was I can understand why. We've dealt with him before when we bought some of his land that connected with ours. He's a bit of an odd person. When word got to him about the bulls he called me and said he would get them the next morning then started complaining about how since we now owned cattle and his bulls where alone he would have to move them to another pasture. He gave the impression that OUR cattle where causing him problems His pasture doesn't connect with ours but it is behind our woods a fair piece.

My husband says to keep the peace since one day our cows might get in his pasture so I'm deferring it to my husband and letting him handle it the way he sees fit.

Why would he hurry? Every day they're there is free feed. Some people love mooching off others.

Can't believe one of the guys you spoke to has had a neighbor's animal for a year. I would be handing him a bill for care that might equal it's worth.

2 lines of wire for the length of 2 fence posts, no hubby didn't charge him. I left it to him but if it had been my choice I doubt I would have either
