Look what I found

[Cattle Rack Rancher]

This critter showed up at my house on Wednesday night. I've got a pretty good idea of whose it is. Same guy I've had problems with for the last three years. His cattle are always out. This bull walks through the 2 strand high tensile electric like its not even there. He dug a real nice hole in the middle of my yard about two feet deep and six feet wide and made a real mess of the wife's garden. I was out Wednesday night at 1 AM chasing him away from the patio. I phoned the owner twice. 'I'll be right over'. I Had one cow here for almost 8 months that he was coming right over for and another one that I shipped of his because it just kept hanging around my yard. Nice bull. If it would stay in the fence, I'd be tempted to use him on my cows and he's in a good spot now in the pasture if he stays there. Otherwise, I guess it may have to be a bullet to the head because he doesn't herd and just walks through the fence when he gets close.

Nice looking bull, to bad you couldn't figure out away to keep him if the neighbor doesn't show up. Maybe a short piece of chain in the nose would teach him what that fence is all about when it touched it. I don't think I'd call the neighbor if anything showed up again, he'd have to call me looking for it if he's that much of a problem. Good luck.

Got any friends that can pull him down?

My Dad, brother and I stretched one out on a hot afternoon - it had been a problem for months. And the owner just gave us crap every time we called.

I jokingly said to Dad and my brother - we should cut him and send him home. Dad gave me "one of those smiles" and we rounded him up - stretched him out - real tight.

I pinched that bull while they pulled him right straight out and THEN we sent him home late that night.

Bull was not really happy with us - but he never came back.

A bit risky - but I was younger and faster in those days - The old man and my brother rode big strong horses and could rope as good as the best. A skill I barely manage with - no talent I guess. My daughter can do a better job than me.

Owner never did find out - at least he never let on.

We never had another problem with his fences or his animals though.

Bez!

This guy probably owns 500-600 head. 1 or 2 cows or a bull that won't stay in the fence doesn't hurt his bottom line much. I'm not the only person that's ever had problems with him. I phoned the cops on him last year after the umpteenth time his cattle took down my fence. He seems to buy the garbage nobody else wants. He doesn't even have a fencer on his fence alot of the time. Just the kind of neighbor everybody needs to help you appreciate how good the rest of your neighbors are.

Check with your sheriff, if you have them in Canada. It is my understanding here in Texas if you notify the owner and he won't collect them in 90 days you can sell them, or eat them or whatever. If they do come after them you can charge them for room and board. I heard of a man close to where I live that charged a fellow $200.00 a head after he had to babysit a few of his cows about two weeks. The man had to pay it to get them back.

I already shipped two of this guy's cows last year that wouldn't stay out of my pasture. He knows all about it and he's never even asked for the cheque. This bull was wandering around outside the fence near the highway so instead of shipping him, I guess he figured he'd make it my problem by bringing him down close to my place.

I think that there is a law similar to that here (in Sask anyways) something along the lines of impounding the animal and charging the owner for feed and board, and also sell the animal/s after a certain length of time.

There is no impound yard in our municipality ( I checked it out last year) and I really don't have any place to put him besides in with my bull. I guess I'm just not keen on two bulls that don't know each other busting up my bull pen.

Just count your blessings, at least that bull hasn't spread pneumonia to your whole herd!

What's bad is that you don't know what he may be spreading.

Do you have access to a tranquilizer gun? I might be tempted to notify him that on "such and such" day that his bull would be tranquilized, and failure on him to show up would be considered him relinquishing all rights of ownership. Then load him up and sell him for ground meat.

I have a similar problem, a neighbor bull goes through the barbed wire like it is not there.

Thing is, all my bulls are registered (Charolais), and this one is an Angus cross of some kind, and he starts going at it with my cows as if he's gonna be taken to the butcher first thing in the morning. :shock:

You should let your neighbor know about it.

Bez, I can't believe you posted that!!! I was thinking about our own experience in Kansas and was debating about "sharing" our "incidence".
We were strickly AI and a neighbor's cattle kept getting onto our land. We knew they ran a bull, and we told them he best not get in with our cows. Well, he did - and he bred a heifer (which we aborted). But we kindly caught the bull, ran him thru our facilities and knife-castrated him - than called the neighbor to come pick up his STEER.

I have done a lot of things in my life. I admit to being ashamed of many of my past actions.

I also have done a lot of good things in my life. Most of which I would never tell a soul.

So, I am just an old fat guy now who is missing most of his now very grey hair. I am not afraid to admit to almost all of my wilder past and most of my stupid deeds.

Also - I belive the statute of limitations would protect me now!



I still live by the rule of trying to do good - even when no one is looking. The flip side to that is - I ALWAYS GET EVEN! I am a very patient man.

And payback can be a beach.

As for what you did - as far as I am concerned - "You are forgiven!"

rope him, drop him , and then insert one of those immobilizers in its rectum , shock it for 5 minutes , then send him back , it´ll never be back.

Couldn't imagine?

You know I always thought Jeanne was a goody two shoes - seems she has a streak of deviltry in her after all. 8)

I am amazed she would be party to such a thing. It must be something to do with her living in that New York country. After all, no one from the west would EVER do something like that! 8)

I suspect you felt that way about her as well.

We all know I do no wrong and I do no harm so your comments could not have been directed at me.

Oh, consider yourself reminded.
