[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1147441, member: 9096"] Well, I can see both sides.. Around here we had an @sshole with open range around our place, and since our fencelines were the only thing green for miles, he'd drop them off at our front gate and let us deal with them for 3 months of the year.. Of course we both had bulls, so they'd fight, break the fence, and we'd end up with 20 of our cows and 100 of his in our fields... We'd call him, and after a day or two he'd show up and just start working the cattle without coming to the house first and telling us, and finally get his cows out... a few days later his bull (alone this time) broke in again, we called him and he NEVER did anything about it, we ended up feeding him for 2 months.. Same guy also stole a 2 week old calf from us, but try and prove it with a nutless constabulary. Finally the guy sold out, and the next was a rich spoiled doctor's kid who bought longhorns... Same deal, drop them off at our front gate in july and come back in october to look for them.. thankfully he didn't last long! The next guy pretty much gave up on this range as it wasn't worth the hassle, and it's been peaceful ever since. Things like this make me understand how bulls wandering around can be a hot button for people like Alexfarms... Dylan, you sound like you have decent relations with your neighbors and you do something about it if your animals get out. It's a couple bad apples like the guys we've had to deal with that'll spoil the bunch. [/QUOTE]
