[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 367957, member: 2308"] Randi is fine. It is my name, so go right ahead :cboy: . I should clarify the neighbours. They certainly aren't out checking on things every day. However, they do drive by the pasture(on their way to town), and would notice if we had cattle out. They would also let us know if we had something sick, depending where it was as the animals can get up to a mile away from the road. And in an emergency they would go check on them for us if asked. Now, that doesn't mean that they notice every little thing, about 2 years ago our bulls and the neighbours tore down some fence between them, and for at least a week, were intermingled. Now, THIS guy checks cows even less than us. He lives there, and never saw the problem. So, what I have to say is if your EXTERIOR fences are in really good shape, and you KNOW the animals you are sending will not crawl them then go ahead. It would be a really good idea to meet some of the neighbours in the area, just to have someone that might keep an eye on things for you. And call you if they see a major problem. Even if you have to pay someone to check on them every so often. As to the cost of going there and checking stuff out, it depends a lot on what you are paying for the use of the land on whether it is worth it or not. We own ours, and seeing as the land near us is unaffordable it makes the stuff further away worth it. [/QUOTE]
