... cattle broke through my fence and ate it, killing every last bulb. The cattle like to push their way through the fence and damage things and the owner gets away scot-free, and I had better hope his cattle are OK. It's a a free range state so the cattle owner has the rights, not me.

I got more Transylvanian garlic off eBay a few weeks ago so I could try to start another batch.

I know people who've lost some expensive landscaping, but I like grass fed beef, and I like the concept of ranching vs industrial farming, so I either fence the cattle out, or ( my current place) I don't put anything in my unfenced front yard, that I wouldn't want the cattle to have. I have tomato plants in the back where the cattle can't get them, but they're not doing very well, so I may as well have put them in front....

I don't like being responsible for someone else's animals if they should hurt themselves on my property after pushing down the fence to get in and being destructive.

And I hope my garlic gave them a massive bellyache.

I don't think you'd be held responsible, if for example, a cow fell into your pool (but I'm not a lawyer). I knew someone whose wife ran over a cow on a road though, and she was responsible. But, the person smoothed it out with the rancher so I don't think it went very badly for them (just for the cow).

According to the guy I talked to from the Department of Agriculture, if one of them would get hurt here, it would be on me. He looked up who the owner of the cattle is who has the legal right to graze them here, and he's a politician in a city, I won't say more that could identify him.

So, are you expected to fence your yard off with cattle panel's to keep those cow's off of your property?

We are all required to have our properties fully fenced because of the free ranging cattle, and like everybody here, my place is fenced with barbed wire. We also have to keep up our fences because of the free ranging cattle. Our expense for their profit. The cattle look for weak points and push the fencing down, especially when they see something they want, such as plants to eat or water. A few months back, I heard that they got through somebody's property and were on the highway, but that was several miles away.

Since you have already been out here to my place when you picked up the Dorking's, you should have notice that my yard is not fenced off. We do have neighbor's that own some cattle in the neighborhood, but they don't let the cattle run loose. Those cattle have never been over here. There was an Ostridge once that got loose a few year's ago that ran through the yard. It sure looked funny seeing that head running past the window. We also had some peacock's that wanted to roost on my chicken coop for a while but they have been gone for a few year's now.

LOL! I would have loved to see that big bird's head running past the window.

I didn't know what it was at first. It could have been an ET.
