[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 62217, member: 173"] This is a sore subject for me as well, but for the opposite reason! We've had countless cows /bulls get in on us from the neighbors, and it's amazing to me how we always get the same response.."call me when you get her penned".. or "I'm really busy right now, can I call you back". Of course it's then months before I ever hear back. Every stray we had I've had to pen and HAUL back to the owner. If I hadn't, they would still be there. And they are always crazier than heck, and manage to stir up my cows. I understand that occassionally cows get out.. but you have to realize that it gets frustrating for the other person if they feel that you're not doing enough to keep them in. I'm sure you're doing everything in your power, but he's not there all the time, and doesn't know how much time you're spending. So when he gets to the property and sees the cow or cows still there, he's probably assuming you haven't done anything. As hard as it is, you really need to try and cooperate with your neighbors as much as you can. It is so much easier to get along that way, and you won't have to constantly worry about something happening. We accidentally left the front gate open a couple of years ago, and the whole herd went across the street, through a corn field and into a coastal field with round bales stored there. The did the standard leaving ruts, etc, and my bull had fun rolling a couple of round bales, but we got them off right away. (With a feed bucket.. they'll follow me anywhere) We immediately called the property owner (who doesn't live there) and told him what happened, and told him to come out and look at the damage and let us know what we could do.. either pay him or fix it. He called back a few days later and said not to worry about it. Now this guy is a *$#&#^, and it was hard to make that call, but by going to him, hat in hand, and offering whatever we could, it really defused a possible volitale situation. [/QUOTE]
