now that is a knotthead for not keeping his cows in.looks like the sheriff would just impound them an charge the ripp out of the guy.
 
How does the sale barn play into this person not keeping his cattle contained ? It seems like every time I turn around my neighbor's young Bull is over here on the the fence squealing at my heifers I'm weaning. He may have bought him at a sale barn. I don't know.

He owns a sale barn. Buys cattle for like 12.00 per head...the ones that die die and the ones that dont he resales and makes a killing off them. That is where him owning a sale barn comes into play as he buys sick cattle does not repair his fences and then this happens and he makes no attempt to make things right.

Sounds just like the guy that leased our place for a few years. Dad got tired of people calling him to tell him his cow were loose when they weren't his cows so he told the guy to get them off the place. :roll:

Ga prime I do to. However by law the sheriff has to give him 30 days to reclaim them. In the mean time he can charge him daily to keep them(whatever he wants to charge) and he has already ticketed him for his fence. The sheriff said he is going to charge him 100 dollars per day per head. Whether he actually does it or not who knows. Supposedly this fella that owns the sale barn grossed nearly 1 million dollars last year as they sold nearly 100,000 some odd head. It aint like he cannot afford to keep his fences up. The fact is he is just fat and lazy. There goes the closed herd I have worked so hard to achieve out the flippin window. Im so mad.

If this guy is making some decent cash with a sales barn and reselling junker cattle, then 100 dollars a day per head won't mean much. If he is fat, lazy and full of cash, he will let his laziness rule the day. Also, a closed herd is an admirable thing and I don't care how much money is being charged, you can't put money on having a clean herd :cboy: . Have the Sheriff give him 30 days notice to get his cattle in and fix the fence. If not, gather them up and go sell them. If it happens again, it should be a wake up call to the Sheriff that this guy wants to share his wealth of livestock with his neighbors, and therefore doesn't need 30 days notice. :cowboy:

Sounds like a good idea aaron. I will call him here when I get off work. The sheriff is actually a good buddy of mine and I buy hay from him regularly.
baxter78-

As a "CYA" move, have an Attorney draft some "Philadelphia Lawyer" language document to present to the guy, and then FOLLOW THROUGH!!

The idea of a closed herd is a good one, I leave the bad guy for you to handle as I know not your american ways.
 
I think the next thing I would do is work them so they didn't get the rest of your animals any sicker than they may already have. Then keep them as far away from your cattle as you can. By the end of the week he'll owe him more in "rent" then the cattle are worth anyway.
 
I don't understand what this has to do with you Baxter, they are on the sheriff's land, not yours. Are you the Mrs. Kravitz of your neighborhood? :D
 
Baxter - This happened to me once also. Two young buuls were hanging around the outside of my fence. I rounded them up and called the owner. He said he would come get them that day; of course he never showed up. After two months and ten phone calls, I took his two bulls to the sale barn and that was the end of that. I never heard anything about it. :cboy:
 
What's the saying, "Good fences make good neighbors".

Makes me like my neighbors even more, ones got horses and the other raises blueberries.... but we all have good fences and get along well.

The consept of a closed herd is good, but it's those strays that wander in that still make keeping up to date on vaccinations good business sense

We are trying to maintain our closed herd status but still vaccinate everything . If all your vaccs are up to date you should be OK.

Makes you wonder about people some times.It seems that complacency is taking over the modern world. :( Good luck with everything , also Arron has offered some very good advice.

BTW who is Mrs. Kravitz?
 
She was the old lady that was always spying and gossiping about her neighbors on bewitched. :)

I always associate a closed herd with not bringing in outside breeding animals. Birds are bringing you all the diseases that the salebarn cattle carry anyway, so I would keep those vaccinations up.

Still haven't read where these cattle are across the fence from his...
 
don't blame you, back when my neighbor was stocking his place with sale barn cattle i moved mine over to have a pasture between mine and his. pretty much had to quarantine mine from his. i panic when id see one with a sticker on it

Vaccinations are a continual must, but I don't think birds are that big a deal for carrying cattle disease. Don't think I have ever seen a crow or raven or vulture settle a heifer in heat. :shock:
