Trespassing cattle sucks in so many ways. Never a good thing. My first experience was when 6 cows came onto the property and they destroyed the deer feeders and would find the wildlife food plots and graze like they found a treasure. Finding out who they belong to took a few days because none of my bordering neighbors had cattle. First time it was a neighbor down the rd and he was elderly and was in the hosp being treated for cancer. His grandson helped me round them up using the side by side like a horse to push them back to his place. the neighbor offered to repair or replace the feeders but I said no thanks and I repaired and set new feeders out. The next time was from another neighbor down the road. An elderly woman and her son who was in his 60's in guessing. They told me high water had knocked the fence down and blamed me for the trespassing cattle because I was growing rye, oats and wheat at my place. I offered to bring in a boat and help to repair the fence but they said no thanks. So over the next two yrs their cattle would wind up at my place 3 or 4 times a yr. And the woman had an attitude every time I went to them and told them of their cows on my place and I always offered to help get them back. That attitude got old and so the last time I told her I was going to call the Sherriff and he would come get the cows. That was 3 yr's ago, she fixed the fence after that. I think she liked to fatten up her cows on my fields.
