[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1339749, member: 18945"] One of the problems with people that don't want to keep fences up is the small fine associated with the offense. I don't remember what it is in my county, but looking at Vt's law, it says "not to exceed $100". Some cases, it might be cheaper to pay the fine and let them run loose than fix the fence right. It don't take long to spend $100 on wire and posts. Around here, the deputies woulda done read that owner the riot act and the county judge would have probably ordered him to fix the fence immediately or sell his cattle. I saw it happen in 2012 to a guy I knew well that lived about a mile from me, but in his case, he was 'old school' and when grass dried up, he for years, had just let his cows 'run the bottom" and they ended up at the bridge on the county road in front of my place. Deputies just got tired of dealing with it and took it in front of the judge. Off to the sale barn they went. Just as well I guess--JF died last year. [/QUOTE]
