Neighbors Cows on My Property

Our neighbor sprayed his land to kill everything on it to plant a better kind of grass for his cattle but then the drought hit. We used our property to grow hay for goats kept at another hill country property.

When we went there his cattle were on it and when we walked our property we found he had cut the fence to let them go on ours. We pushed the cattle back through the fence (not an easy job for us “city slickers”) and fixed the fence. When we went back a couple of weeks later the cattle were back on and he’d cut the fence again. This time I didn’t fix it and ran them out the gate (access to this property is on a dirt road off off another dirt road off of an fm road).

Problem solved.

exact situation with one of my buddies and his neighbors, same solution and it worked, evidently missing cows got expensive. Wasn't just happening to him, a couple were hit by cars on hwy and they finally starting fining her and eventually said they would seize the cows, she sold them all. Grayson County. My neighbors cows sometimes get on my place through creek but a phone call is all it takes and they come run them back and make repairs, creek when flooding always trashes the fence. I have horses and they don't use the creek bed. I fully understand cows getting out but I cannot understand an owner not taking care of it. If my horses were getting out on his place I would see it as my responsibility to make necessary repairs. I'm lucky and have good neighbors.

Did I miss the resolution of the original post?

What did the rancher and complainant finally get resolved???

Lol. I quoted the law in the first post.

I am simply amazed at the number of people who don't seem to have respect for other people's property rights.

Anyway, it's best to follow the law and preserve a good relationship with your neighbors

Get some dogs to chase the cows...once cattle are gone I'm not sure if you can shoot your own dogs. Maybe I'll start a thread to confirm.
