Local rancher is having lots of issues with anti cow people cutting fences.
Doesn’t help that a small community of multi million dollar homes built adjoins ranch land.
One morning my brother looks out and sees cattle on his back 40… it really is brother’s back 40 acres.
He called the rancher who was most apologetic and my brother said no problem just wanted you to know.
Rancher said ever since the new homes went up nothing but problems… calls to animal control saying too hot for the cows to be out to weekly fence cuts.
Neighbors sure can transform paradise to hell.
I’ve only had one problem and that is when a couple from San Francisco bought a home on Moms street… the ladies called adult protective services because they were worried about moms safety on her daily walks.
Mom still ran marathons at 75 and still walking several miles each day at 88.
The ladies thought quite irresponsible for an old woman to be out by herself.
Several random visits and the agencies said there is nothing to this but said once a call is made they open a case file…
I have some local enviro freaks spray paint my tractors, stomp on the hoods and cut bale strings. Happening to other farmers, too.
Funny thing is I am an organic operation for the most part. We haven’t sprayed for weeds in over 6 years. Only fertilizer we use is spent mushroom compost, and that’s only every 3-4 years.
I guess it’s the diesel engine exhaust they resent and that we supply hay for cows & beef cattle.
I ever catch one of those punks I’ll rip the ears off of their heads.
