I have a neighbor that thinks that if any cattle get out he should be able to keep them. About 15 years ago a guy had some cattle get out in this guys bean feild and was shart 6 pairs. Turned out the neighbor had them and wouldn't admit it until the sheriff showed up an he wouldn't allow him to press charges. The neighbor also collected a nice insurance check for his bean feild. Today I had the cow herd drift through a fence and most went into a hay feild and about 16 head went into his yard an got in to his silage pile for about 15-20 minutes. He penned them up and I put all me cows back and his son was in the yard so I asked him to help me get the cows out and back down the road. His place is only 1/4 mile down the road. We ran the 16 head down the road but there dog fallowed me so when I put the cows in I brought the dog back to the son and I was kinda behind some bales and I heard the neighbor yell to the kid. "You didn't give him those cows back did you". So I jump back on the quad and cruise over to him and ask him how much damage the cows did and how much I owed him and he told me nothin just to make sure the cows didn't get out again. I know that if I hadn't been there 30minutes after the cows got out he would of had them in a back pen and off to a sale somewhere. I don't live in a brand inspection area so he could of just sold them.
Question is how do you deal with someone like this. I am working on putting up a very good fence most is 5 barb but putting up 7 along him. And am thinking about camaras, what else would you do to prevent any future problems?
