[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 94325, member: 587"] We went over to the lease this evening to combination fish/check cattle/check fences. Two thirds of the fencing is in terrible condition, patched and repatched, etc. There is one side that is mostly good, I want to think a six or seven strand that is stretched well-except for a few spots where the neighboring Angus bulls were up starting fights with my bulls the last couple years. We noticed as we headed across the pasture that a black calf was on our side of the fence, wandering along the fenceline. I tried to get him worked back through the spot by the pond where I recently took the tree off the fence, temporarily fixing the fence. He was too spooky. He would alternately wander the fenceline, then follow our cows, who wanted nothing to do with him-I think because he was probably trying to steal milk; when he got close they attempted to butt him. I tried to move him into the corral, nothing doing. Wife finally contacted the neighbor, who said he would go over in the morning and try to get him up. The owners of the land and the owner of the black calf do not get along well; they say that he fenced off most of the pond for his side after he purchased most of the land from their family, and that it is actually supposed to be half theirs. They are supposed to have it surveyed at some point to prove it. My problem is that I am obligated tomorrow morning, and I can not be there. What would you do if you were in my shoes? [/QUOTE]
