[QUOTE="Larzbarz, post: 1766031, member: 39957"] There is a township road that dead-ends in one of my family's pastures. There used to be an old wooden bridge over a creek on that road. Back before we bought a gooseneck trailer and all the grain farmers ripped out all of the road fences, we would walk the pairs down the road to the home place each fall. So our cows knew to cross the bridge. A neighbor along this township road also had cattle. He was lax about fence maintenance so his cattle would graze the ditches, but they would never cross the bridge, so he let it be. One day there was a storm and a tree fell on our fence. The old lead cow took her whole group of cows out of the new hole in the fence and down the road to home. In doing so, the neighbor's cattle were swept up and had their eyes opened to the possibility of crossing the bridge. All the cattle made it to the homeplace and got shut up. The neighbor was notified and hauled his cattle home. Going forward, however, he became rather disgruntled that all of a sudden he had to maintain his fences and couldn't graze the public right of way. [/QUOTE]
