Help Please! How to keep cattle away from my home

[Hippie Rancher]

ah, now your other question makes more sense. a nimby. good luck with that.

 

[BRYANT]

my cows can come down my drive to the garage, cant get in the yard. but if the garage door is left open more than once the cows or the mules will come right in the garage. I try to keep them away but sometimes it just does not work , the mules are the worst they would come in the house if I let them or should I say if my wife would let them. She says we look like a bunch of HILLBILLIES with a mule standing in the garage ???? well maybe I am ??? much rather wake up to cows and livestock in the yard as wake up in the city to drug deals and gun fire.

Move the fence that other 10ft further out to your property line, build the trump wall, that's about what can be done.. or move the house, but that's a lot harder.

Cows on three sides and across the road. My cow's shyt don't stink.

People like you made laws like this necessary.

Right to farm laws in the United States deny nuisance lawsuits against farmers who use accepted and standard farming practices and have been in prior operation even if these practices harm or bother adjacent property owners or the general public. ... All 50 states have some form of Right to Farm law.

Perhaps OP is not American...no mention is made where situated.

You are correct.

Ask the owner if you grain feed them grain daily at a spot further away. He may be grateful. That can get expensive though.

The mention of a Trump wall indicates US. But I have no idea what that would do other than to block the view. It won't help with any smells.

First off she exaggerates... how would she step in manure by staying on her property?

Planting a barrier hedge of lilac bushes along the property line might be the solution.
It would take a few years, but depending on the variety chosen they'll easily grow to be 6-12 ft tall.
It's easier to beautify your own location than to change a neighbor's behavior.

Hopefully the lilac bushes aint too close to the fence....my cows LOVE to munching on these lilacs.

 

[Son of Butch]

They ain't planted yet, so with common sense foresight that can be avoided.
Pruning shears are available at any garden center to shape and control hedge over growth.

Wouldn't hurt for the cows to keep the lilacs trimmed on the pasture side of the fence. The homeowner can just let them get as thick as they want on their side.

Every day the Good Lord sends me blessings. This thread reminds of how much better I like my fellow man when he is scattered some.

The best way I've found to make cattle scarce is to hook up the cattle trailer.

What I heard is if you think you're neighbors are far enough away, then double the distance!...
