And honestly? I support these rural laws. I am sick of the City encroaching on the country with their laws and ideology. If they don’t like it then too bad, don’t come live there. Stay in the City.
The Cattle were there first long before that valley was built up. I actually saw it before all the city folks moved in.
I just got off the phone with my cousin from the south east of the state.
He used to work a range down there and had the same problem. BUT, said that it is the responsibility of the BLM/County/State along a major highway if they want them fenced.
They worked with the officials to prevent things like that happening and had virtually very little problems. That meant get out and helping the officials crews to fix fences and make sure these types of things did not happen because they could see all hell breaking out if they did not make the attempt to head of the problem.
He actually has heard of the problems up here and mentioned that the rancher most likely is on his last legs and those cows are worth more dead than alive to him.
As to your last comment? Then maybe you all should have not allowed the buildup of this valley and that maybe the ones who developed this land are more responsible for this conundrum than those who bought these lots and built on them.
As I said..I being a farm boy as well as woodsman, I dont mind having these cattle roam around out here. Its the GD donkeys that are more problems. But I will tell you this. If these clowns dont attempt to try and head off this, these “CITY” folks will get the support to change these laws and then it will not go well for the Ranchers.
I got just around my house fenced as it is my responsibility to FENCE THEM OUT. The rest those dried beef on the hoof can keep the weeds and grass down for me.
“The Cattle were there first long before that valley was built up”
Yup, and the Indians were here before the Ranchers. Just sayin.
