i’m not sure why people are so resistant to retain a lawyer.

getting one to write a few letters is relatively cheap vs dealing with a bad neighbor for months.

there was another thread on here where someone couldn’t get their neighbor issues handled and the thread was going on 6 months. they eventually bought a new house and moved. now, that’s expensive.

I can generate a cease-and-desist letter and have it notarized. Over the long haul, and six months for me is not a long haul, a sustainable relationship may yet develop between this neighbor and I. We may have to suck it up and do come compromising.

I know the neighbor is bad, and by all appearances neighbor knows I am bad too. I also see there has been a lot of miscommunications.

I'm not likely to move over this issue since I am the major land owner.

If issues do not resolve, then I will work towards hiding him behind a nice hedgerow he cannot pass through in the event I do additional dog culling.

I sort out neighbors quickly and don't need letters.
It would be throwing away money to me.

I may have one more hen that may come back. She is in very heavy brush in the late evening making contact calls as she finds a roost. She needs to be caught before a critter gets her. There maybe a way to characterize birds after attack that can impact value lost.

I use electrical fencing, but using it to keep dogs off entire property would be prohibitive. Acreage is nearly 20 acres and far from ideal square. All fencing effort is currently for protecting the actual barn area. The dogs will still be able to go everywhere else which brings them into conflict with my dogs tasked with defending barn and poultry in yard around house. The activity of neighbor's dogs on my property degrades what I can do on my own property with respect to animals. At some point I will be running sheep and goats and they will not always be in the fencing that is currently almost 6 feet tall and designed to work without hotwire. This current fencing install is a lot pricier than typical for sheep and goat pasture. Those dogs cannot be allowed to impose higher fencing cost as I try to take advantage of more pasture I own.

Responsible people don't let dogs kill their livestock. You weren't in the wrong to shoot the dog that killed your livestock and won't be in the wrong if another one does the same and gets shot too. I pray your neighbor doesn't seek revenge for the dog. God bless!

I have the utmost faith in you, @centrarchid. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Folks need to take care of themselves and theirs. Hope you get it dealt with swiftly.

I will be getting real particular with labelling property boundaries, but will have a lot of trouble making so entire property boundary is dog tight. This is the first time in my life to employ no trespassing. largely to prevent neighbors from coming on to embolden their dogs.

The purple paint statute (Section 569.145 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri) allows Missouri landowners to mark trees or posts with purple paint as a warning to would-be trespassers. It fulfills the same function as a “no trespassing” sign, a fence, or telling someone not to come onto your property

Only if said trespassers know that rule.
