[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1803889, member: 9933"] When we bought this place, we had perimeter fences like yours. We did more than a few hunts that sound exactly like your story. Unfortunately when they would escape from the northeast corner, it was impossible to convince them to follow us all the way back up through the hole in the fence. On our side it was a more gentle rise to the top, then a steep drop down a mile long switchback trail that went through a thick woods to the bottom, where a large pond was located. I am so thankful that our cattle will come to a call. If they didn't, catching them and sorting them out of the neighbors cattle would be near impossible. It would take a lot of time and a heck of a good team of horses and riders to maneuver and gather them in that environment. We could call them down to a road at the bottom, into some panels and load them there. We have since put new fencing around most of the perimeter. Age and injurys caught up to us before we finished some of the northeast border, but we have fences below that keep them from that line. I have been attempting to find a crew willing to build the last mile and a half of fence so we could get access to another 100 acres. There is about 20-30 acres of open grazing on top plus the woods, and I would love to have access. The neighboring ranch's cattle get in and graze it from time to time. They eventually drop down to our interior fence and we end up helping catch them. [/QUOTE]
