I believe this is his last post:

To those who complain and report post that don't agree with your beliefs but violate no community rules.... Feel free to bite me. You know who you are and what you are , and so do I.
 
No? Seemed to me Fence said something along the lines of " I know who you are and where you live" in his last post. Is that incorrect?
I didn't see that one but ya, a threat like that will get you banned on any message board.

I like fence as a person. He was straight up and I respect that. He was also very knowledgeable. He didn't want to follow the rules because he didn't agree or for what ever reason. We have talked about this before. All message boards are privately owned. It's like going in to some ones home or business. You have to follow the rules or you get asked to leave. There is no freedom of speech or any of that stuff.

Most of my friends wouldn't make it 48hrs on a board. 🤣 Your status on a message board is not a reflection of you as a person, imo.

I do have to wonder though why people want to come on a cattle board and talk politics or other drama. It's like when I get guests out at these properties and all they do is hang on their phone. Why come at all? You are on this beautiful place, with all this cool stuff, and you want to stare at a screen. You want to come to a message board, with mostly good people, where we talk about cattle and land and tractors and hunting, and all this great stuff and you want to drag the worlds problems in and muck it up.
 
Actually I'm hoping some of our neighbors don't get that idea. We're already dealing with various neighbors with Jersey bulls and stockyards special bulls.
And we, more often than desirable get the apparent privilege of dealing with them.
Just curious, but why would it bother you if a neighbor raised Corriente cows and bred them to beef bulls? What is it that you think you'd have to deal with?

In a good situation, I wouldn't care what the neighbors raised. Problem is our main farm joins 7 other properties. At present, 5 of those have cattle, and only 2 of those 5 actually are knowledgeable, and responsible. The other situations, are always a problem waiting to happen. Each of those 3 "farms" has around 10 head at most, with one just having one cow and one bull.
One place has near zero management. The poor cows literally push the fence down trying to lick on our cattle, presumably to get salt. The "owner" is afraid of them and uses a hotshot to keep them away. We and other neighbors end up each year with her cattle getting on our property, to which we have all of the responsibility of getting them up and out as well as fence repair.
It is literally a dangerous job as we often have her bulls to get in with our cattle. They are so wild and or aggressive that we have to usually hire somebody on horseback to rope them and load them.
The other situations aren't quite that problematic but the potential is still there because one has similar hands off management, but they do have enough grass to eat, problem there is the bull spends most of its time walking the fence trying to fight with ours, so that's just a matter of time until a bull gets in another field.
The other situation, is another newcomer to cattle like the others that knows it all, yet doesn't understand about the responsibility of fences.

Not the first time he was kicked off. It happened once before. He was gone for a while and came back with a slight name change.

I can relate to that, and I sympathize with you. But sounds like this is more of a people problem, than the type of cattle problem. I guess I misread your post. I thought you were replying to someone's dig about Corrientes. What kind of cows do these people have?

It's both a people and a cattle problem.
One situation started out with Jersey cows and bulls, now they still have those but have a few Jersey x beef breed crosses, we talking not good quality cattle, that are never worked, dehorned steered.
Another situation is apparently a long yearling or two year old some kind of red brindle bull.
The other situation is beef breed cattle and not the kind that would improve most herds as well as a people problem.
The first jersey situation I've been dealing with for about 20 years, the other 2 are more recent developments.
I'm ready to sell out and leave here and let somebody else worry with it.

They would be banded……….
 
Maybe took all that money made on kudzu finished black ropers and had enough to purchase his own little place on the www. Just the mention of the names of some folks from the past will put the world in a lockdown. Mighty strange and mighty resourceful, it seems.
