[QUOTE="Logar, post: 1469946, member: 31166"] Do what I did a few years back. Round them up - load them up and send them to a sale barn - not to be sold, but to be held. Call him and tell him where they are and that he can go get them. And you were protecting your family as one or two of them tended to chase your kids when they walked in the fields checking your own cows. ;-) You did not steal them, you simply put them in to safe keeping so he could fetch them when he was ready. It costs to ship unless you have your own trailer - and I do - but he pays the bill to the barn to get them back and you might make a few dollars hauling for him if he needs some help getting them home. Bet he does not do that again. Many years ago I had a problem with a neighbor and his bull. I would call and call and sometimes a week or two later he would come and get it. Finally it showed up one time too often. I loaded it up - and took it about 150 - 200 miles away - opened the door on open range and let it loose and it seemed happy to join a few cows alongside the road. The neighbor came by about ten days later and asked if I had seen his bull. I told him no, invited him in for coffee and a chat - friendly and as nice as pie to him - when he left I told him if he found it that I would be happy to hook up and help him bring it home - all he had to do was call me. He left never the wiser. And I never had a problem again. There are always solutions to the problem - but you need to stay friendly while you do it. Cheers [/QUOTE]
