[QUOTE="Dave, post: 61951, member: 498"] Two years ago my neighbor (A) asked me to graze off a field which his cows can't get to. This little field is across a deep creek from his main pasture and only accessable through either my place or his other neighbor (B). He was't using it and just wanted me to keep the grass down. So I ran a few cows in for a week or so. Well 5 or 6 cows somehow managed to get into the other neighbors (B) pasture. This was the first time any of my cows ever got into B's pasture. He threw a fit. Neighbor A called me and I was on my way out there with a bucket of grain to get them back where they belonged. When I got there B was trying to herd the cows out on to the county road. He had a gate open and A stood in the gate and wouldn't let to cows out on the road. B cussed me for never building fence even though my fences are 100 times better than his. He was cussing me for my cows being out even though his cows have been on my place a number of times. His cows had been on the road so many times that the Deputy Sheriff threatened to impound them. He cussed me to the point where I had to explain to him that, although I was doing my level best to get the cows off his place, any further cussing and I would have to stop see how his 5'6" 130 pound would stand up to my 6'2" 230 pounds. That ended the cussing and he just walked off. Good old A and I managed to get the cows off B's property in a few minutes. However by this time I had cows and calves seperated by the creek and several fences which made it a lot more difficult than it needed to be. If he had left them alone I would have had them back where they belonged in a couple of minutes instead of the hour or two it took. I haven't talked to B since then. He sold all his cows last year and his pasture is empty. I could use the pasture and I am sure he could use the rent money but I will haul my cows to the next county before I would rent pasture from him. It is great to have neighbors like A but there is always some B's out there. Dave [/QUOTE]
