[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 474779, member: 3162"] Luckily I have some really good neighbors. One recently insisted on buying everything since I was doing all the work to replace fence after the flood. I have one that is not so good. The county finally started confiscating his cattle and he had to pay to get them back. In the heat of things, it got to the point that I thought someone was going to get killed. It actually progressed to that point. Not good. His cattle would tear up brand new fence to get to the pasture. I have video of one cow methodically pushing clips off of T-posts along the fence. First time I had ever seen such a thing. Electric fence will not stop starving animals once they figure out getting through is only a temporary shock. The best thing you can do is put up the fence. Turn everything else over to the authorities. Otherwise you could wind up spending money for attorneys and bondsmen on criminal offense. Get pics and video on his animals on your property if you can. When you talk to the authorities, don't get emotions involved (i.e. anger). Just show them the pics and video. You pay taxes for them to do the rest. [/QUOTE]
