Free Range?

[alxone]

id put up a fence with a few cow locked in the yard and when the rancher comes over to complain just tell him that you thought he did not want them anymore seeing as they were on your property . if you have to watch you dogs then he should watch his cows .

when you get that cow you should invite everyone over for one hell of a cook out

"Open range" does not mean a stockman can simply allow their livestock to run at large without penalty. CRS 35-46-105 "Grazing on roads and in municipalities" and CRS 35-47-101 "Horses and mules running at large" are two statutes to deal with negligent livestock owners. These statutes can be used by local law enforcement to help curtail animals being allowed to run at large.

A livestock owner is not responsible for the accidental trespass of their livestock causing damage on another's property not protected by a "lawful" fence. A "lawful" fence is defined as a "well constructed three barbed wire fence with substantial posts set at a distance of approximately 20 feet apart, and sufficient to turn ordinary horses and cattle, with all gates equally as good as the fence, or any other fence of like efficiency." Fence law does not shield a livestock owner from an action of personal injuries caused by their livestock trespassing on the land of others. Most alarming is the fact that the "fence law" will not bar an action for escaped livestock involved in an accident on public highways.

Do you need a hired gun? I think we could round up quite a posse on here. I think you need an AK or something.

you can chase them off, even corral them if they're damaging your property, but you can't keep them... if you "cook them up", you'll be facing jail time.

That's just not the way it works out on the country... not in Colorado, anyway. If you have a fence, and they bust it down- then you can even sue the rancher- no fence, no protection.

I've not had to deal with cattle on my own property, but know people that have, I've had pigs and the occasional donkey that takes a shining to one of my mares.

I think i'll just sit down with them, before things get bad. If I cooked one up, pretty sure jail time would not be envolved,but get shot would
