Neighbor wants us to help pay for his high fence

I'm surprised by how all over the map most of the responses are. We went through this last year at our Menard County Pasture. Our neighbor high fenced his place at the time we were replacing all of our fences. We did not want to contribute to the high fence costs but we did share the cost for one-half of what the standard fence cost was. Done.

My wife has a Wildlife Biology degree and Every time I get riled up about high fences she tells me they will jump the fence if you've got better habitat on your side. Maybe the answer isn't to hate the high fence but to improve the habitat on your side of the fence so much that they don't want to be on the neighbor

Texas is a fence out state. If you don't want something on your land then you have to fence it out. It isn't the owner of whatever's problem to repair the fence or build one for that matter. You could build a brand new fence as far away from the property line as you want and if a big bull goes over there and jumps through it. Then it's your job to fix the fence or build a better one. Not the owner of the bull. Look it up. I think it's called free range state or something like that. He should pay half of a low cattle fence and that's all . We have done the same on the ranch I run.
I would be a good neighbor and reluctantly pay one half of typical low fence cost or probably in the neighborhood of $6000 per mile.
