[QUOTE="fitz, post: 1237536, member: 1306"] Reasons vary . Most of my cattle and haying is done on property owned by others. Currently that's five different handshake verbal agreements. All with older aged neighbors. No one seems to want a written contract. I can only figure they want to retain the right to remove me if desired. I guess it's a feeling of having control of the matter. The down side for them is I can't invest any more than a minimum on improvements knowing I have no security in the long haul. As you mentioned, it can get stressful working without a contract. Had one inform me last summer they plan to timber their property and would like the cattle moved for the process. Only had about 20 head there so I sold them. Wood cutters hasn't shown so they tell me last week just to turn the cattle back in. I'm thinking what cattle? I'll have to do something as it's a nice place, it conveniently adjoins me and there are others wanting the land if I walk. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
