[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1834663, member: 18945"] At the old place, we had a distant neighbor of 'the old school' that every winter, after 1st frost, just opened his fences and let his cows 'run the bottoms' which meant they ran in or on everyone's pasture within a couple miles in any direction and 1/2 mile either side of the little river. He never bought hay because woods grass stayed green and they browsed on yaupon and low hanging sweetgum. He claimed trees and limbs kept his fences down, but we knew it only happened the same time of year every year. Didn't mind too much because he was a really good guy, what I would call a 'real East Tx cowboy' that still used dogs and horses and would lend a hand any time you needed him but eventually, his cows got in the wrong property and someone filed a complaint with a county judge and he had to either fix his fences or sell his cattle. He tried it for about a year, but finally decided to sell out. [/QUOTE]
