People that ignore NO TRESSPASSING signs... and then say, "Oh, I didn't think it meant ME." with a surprised look on their face.
Threaten the neighbor with castrating the bull. If you can't get close to the bull, use a 22.I have a neighbor one. We have a neighbor that always has an issue keeping his Char bulls home. They will trash fences and what ever else. I have ran them to near death after coming over multiple times back to back because he wouldn't get rid of them.
So a few years back after issues he wanted to build new fence between us. He claimed that was the issue. He had a cousin that was a fence builder and he liver in that area. We went for it to keep the peace. Fence was trash and with in less than a year he had a bull go through it. He ended up putting a hot wire on his side to keep his bulls off the fence.
Here a month ago he has a bull go through the hot wire and regular fence and on our side again. He wouldn't come get it for over a week and my dad was getting pretty fed up with him. When my dad calls him again to see when he was going to get his bull the guy has the nerve to say... well, if yall would put a hot wire on yalls side also maybe we could prevent this.
Have people lost their minds? In what world do you tell your neighbors they need to add a hot wire to keep your bull out.
My dad always kind of frowns at me when I get on these other neighbors on my stuff but I know he lost it on him.

Law is law and isn't always fair. "Fair" is where you go to see the hogs.
I am not opposed to handling problem cattle. The last time I ran one of his bulls in the truck across a pasture to a gate between us. He layed down about 50yds from the gate. I hot shotted him up and made him go through. He made it maybe 10yds through the gate and layed down again. I closed the gate and we didnt have trouble for a while. We were going on week 3 of him doing noting to get him back.
Interesting. Open Range laws. I didn't realize there were Open Range laws East of the Mississippi!
On the balance, I think a fence out system is preferable to a fence in rule. I had an uncle that was so petty that he built a fence 40 feet on his side to keep the neighbor from being able to use their own property.
My first thought was, "That has to be one heck of a branch and to have 10 cows standing under it at the same time is extreme in the odds the branch falling and killing the cows." Then it registered. You said CHERRY. The tree was in leaf and the cows ate the leaves - quite a lot - which is what actually killed them, not the impact.
Good grief! It almost appears as if you are cleaning up the aftermath of a tornado to get that stuff and volume!
