Somebody’s turned some roping cattle out across the road from my place

[DCA farm]

Noticed around a month ago there was some corriente or longhorn type cattle across the road all about 1/2 starved to death just got home last night from 21 days on a drilling rig all them cows are gone now there is a few steers 1 cow and 1 heifer all toting sale barn tags starting to think there may be a cattle trader leasing the land

 

[DCA farm]

they just stare across the road at my cows eating hay in 1 pasture and ryegrass growing in another honestly surprised there hasn’t been any mingling happening yet

 

[ccr]

looks like they want you to feed em. :shock:

there's some cows down the road from us that look that.

a couple counties south of here the sheriff confiscates cattle in that condition.

Jesus. I’d feed them. Potentially steal them.

You need to go over there and tell that ol boy everything he's doing wrong.....be sure to take your TSC gift card.

I have two thoughts on this subject.

1. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

2. Not your monkey. Not your circus.

that's all :2cents:

It would be hard for me to care any less about what any of my neighbors do. Especially ones I don’t even share a fence with.

As humans it’s our jobs to stand up for animals that are in distress. Well, it is for me. If i see my neighbors starving an animal the trouble would be troubling me. I’m not a rural person though. And I’ve come to know you don’t know the story of what you see. But. I’d be throwing some bales over the fence.

Don't be surprised not see much change in the body condition of a longhorn with that bale throwing..they don't fatten easy, and the beefy ones you see are either being pump hard, are selected for more meat..this man is probably flipping roping stock.probably making more money haunting stockyards for them..my guess though they probably already have spent some time in the arenas ..

If there was a serious risk of them breaking out and getting in with my cattle, I'd firstly make sure my fences were good, and then I'd probably talk to the sheriff and just voice my concern, but also say that as long as there's no trouble I don't want to raise any, but I'd expect action if there was.

What troubles you about those cattle? The fact that someone bought them from a cow sale in the last few days and turned them out on pasture. ? How do you figure their being starved?

I don’t. Which is why I said you don’t know a story by what you see. But my point is if I see an animal being starved, as the poster said these animals are 1/2 starved to death, then I’d try to feed it. Not just look away. Because that’s how I am. But I know nothing about this sort of cattle. Or what’s normal. But this looks cruel.

Maybe they both need to just walk it off.

I have a neighbor like this. Horrible looking cattle. Too many for the lack of feed. But there’s nothing you can do.

Ya there is.... When they go broke you can buy the cattle and feed them into a profit. ;-)

I tried that once. I could have made money feeding one out and slaughtering it. I had too much hay, and they needed some. Wanted top sale barn price for their animals. :lol: I thanked them and never called back.
