[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 94908, member: 245"] I'm a bit late getting into this thread but let me tell you what I've been dealing with the last few weeks. I have a neighbor who owns land a mile east of me. The property 1/2 mile east is my brother's but he doesn't live anywhere near here so I kinda watch it for him. About a month ago, a cow and calf appeared out in my pasture. I phoned all the neighbors as I suspected it was probably the neighbor to my south east.

I knew that these had to be the neighbors to the east as they were all shapes and sizes and colors. I phoned him and he said he'd send somebody right over. My wife and I chased them out of the yard and back east and left for work. Let me just say that this neighbor was renting my brother's piece last year and several times I found cattle in my yard, in my hay etc. The worst was the day we came home from dinner out for our anniversary and had 50 pairs standing in the yard.
