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.

That's too good for 'em.

OP, I would make a few attempts to be neighborly despite the bad manners. They just don't know what they don't know. Bless their hearts. Responding to their rudeness with more rudeness will cement the issue into perpetual stress.
I don’t reward bad behavior.

Isn’t nice how others think they have a right to destroy your stuff?

Neighbor who has the cattle across the street has started leaving his most ornery and temperamental bull out there.

Especially when he has to leave equipment or one of his trailers there.

A-holes will come by in the middle of the night and steel anything not welded on.

I heard a commotion in the middle of the night and realized someone FAFO

He found his chains and binders left about half way from his trailer too the gate

T-bone (not sure of his name, that's what I started calling him) didn't like someone coming into his yard and disturbing his girls

Hay Dude - if you ever catch those punks - send me an email. I want to help you with their education.
I’ll pay your plane ticket.

All of us out here own 5-20 acres. There is ONE neighbor who has decided to wall in with a solid 8' fence, their entire property.

When they finally sell, the first thing the new owners will do, is rip that thing down. It looks ridiculous. Apparently they don't like seeing horses on pasture, my apiary, my buckwheat and clover fields...

Move to the country, then wall yourself in so that all you can see is a solid wooden wall 🤣

They are nasty people, and get along with no one. The rest of us are very good friends.

We have urban jerks move here and the first thing they do is run for local political office and mess with zoning codes, rails to trails BS, change our schools, anything they can to destroy our rural tradition and privacy.

Our local school had a native American nickname. Gone.

I’m so sick of this crap. It’s got to end.
