No repairs needed, they're jumping a four strand barbed wire fence. And they have loads of water in their pond now and keep coming to eat my yard. In the habit now I reckon.

Good looking cattle you have there, excellent condition, with obviously a lot of spring in their step....Round bales are already in position for winter......Topside

'Thankfully them ain't my round bales or my field. That field is only mowed for hay and the property owners live a long ways off. But so help me, if they get into my pansies and mums...

He told me that if it happens again I can go down to the court house and take out a summons against him for livestock running at large and it wouldn't cost me anything. Said he would have to answer for it in court and I may have to give witness to what I've seen.
Hate to do that to a neighbor but I'm beyond sick of this. Where it's been raining three days now they've left huge holes in my yard and I'm gonna have a Heck of a time mowing now, and I have more cow poop to shovel up.
Topping it all off, my parents next door think it's hilarious. Mom just hung out of her window laughing and yelling where's the beef. And dad hollered to call the turtle man. No biggie to them if their grandkids get trampled I reckon. I think they're a mite touched in the head.

Hay the turtle man has a girl friend in my neck of the woods, want me to see if he will come? I know its not safe any I dont mean to make fun, I would have shot them by now.
So what if you fence them in to your place for x number of days then take them to auction! what the worst that could happen you give the owner 1/2 the money. I dont think they hang people for cattle russling anymore, and since they are on your side of the fence dont that make them yours do do as you see fit.

I would absolutely love that and I'm dead serious lmbo

I don't think they'll stand still while I fence around them lol

Have you got animal control there that will impound the cattle and make the owners pay to get them out? My bull went visiting once, he got his little self impounded and I had to bail him out to bring him home. If I hadn't done that they would have sold him at the next auction and they would have kept the check.

From what the officer said animal control here only deals with cats and dogs, period.

Looks to me like you give dear neighbor a letter with pictures and let said neighbor know you are now putting up a catch pen for his cattle on your property. When they come to your property they will then be taken to auction. I would never let this go for so long.
