    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Couple things. Yup. Real. My life is stranger than fiction. I'm not a talented novel writer. I wish. I life in a county where no one in local government cares. Every problem I have is considered civil. Florida is a two party state, which means I cannot use recordings of them, if they don't know...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Thank you for that. I did ask my attorney to have them produce their records once before and they claimed they don't keep any records, of any kind. Don't you guys keep records of births, deaths, ages, etc, on top of all purchases and sales? I did tell him he needs to subpoena these records. I...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    I do have a lawyer. Our suit is bigger than just the cannon nonsense. I have been told, (by lawyers today,) since the dead calf, (and the rest of it,) is a civil case, the defendants word is considered all the evidence needed. It's not a criminal case...yet. It seems since they are more people...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Thanks so much. I hadn't thought of all that. That's why I asked you guys. I guess I have more reading to do. Fraud civil suit sounds good. They have lied so far on the paper work and about everything else. Yup. They are claiming the, 'Right to farm act.' (Not in the cannon/coyote case.) We...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Thanks you guys so much for your advice. I know there are two sides to every story and you're only getting mine. Can I assume none of you use propane cannons to keep coyotes away from your herd? From my research, it seems coyotes get habituated to the noise and it does nothing at all. I mean...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    All of you are right. It's so ridiculous. When it's all over, I will post their name, business name and address. (Their main business is not from cattle.) Our neighbor wants our land. They wanted our property, before we bought it. We found out the previous sellers refused to sell it to them...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    A judge made them turn off the cannon. Made me responsible if a calf was killed by a coyote and only if it was killed by a coyote. The cannon was not the first, or the last, attempt at harassing us off our land.

    I don't mean to offend anyone. Please, don't take anything I say personally. Not from the Ocala area.

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I forgot to add, that picture is the only physical evidence that a coyote killed a 200lb calf. They have large gaps in their gates and fencing. They keep their gates open to all pastures, which are about 50 acres. They have one place that has no fence, only...

    I could use some advice about calves/cattle

    Hi all. I'm not a rancher, but I am forced to know about cattle. I'm going through a waking nightmare, where somehow I became responsible for the safety of someone else's calves. (No joke.) Yet, I have no control over protection, fencing, shooting anything, etc; I cannot even go on their...

    I can see how you think it was my dog...if I owned a dog, which I don't. Like I said, I have never seen the calf, or had anything personally, to do with it dying. They could have brought it from another farm, or taken the picture at another farm, for all I know. It's completely he said, she...

    I'm getting off topic. I think I'll start a new thread. Thanks for all your help.

    Need help with Cattle prices in 2017

    No, not a lawyer. This is really happening to me. I can't trust my lawyer to do the leg work. Call me controlling, but I have never trusted a lawyer to do the leg work and no one should. I have been given no information, other than it was a steer calf. The evidence I saw, it looks very small...

    Sorry, I cannot give specific details as this is a court case. (When it's over, you bet I'm going to tell everyone and anyone.) Yes, ladies and gents we are going to court over the death of a calf. It isn't mine, I have nothing to do with it, no control over protecting it, never seen it, touch...
