There's been a cow that wanders onto our farm the past few evening that none of the neighboring farmers claim, i know the cow belongs to one of them but he's denying its his. So I plan to bait it and get a buddy of mine to rope it up and sell it. My question is how do I go about selling it? Is there an auction barn that will come and get it? Im in Athens..

Just put an enormous price on it and put it in craigslist. Someone who knows nothing about cows will buy it, and come load it in their car.

Make sure to record and post here.

God Bless,

Good luck roping a grown cow. There is a reason they rope steers and calves in rodeos. Getting the rope on it will be easy, what happens after that should be fun.

No sale barn is going to come get it. Selling livestock that is not yours is a felony. You need to call your county's animal control if you want it gone. They will find the owner.

When your buddy ropes it - make sure the video is running.

Plenty of rope and tied off to the hitch of a truck, tree, or post will break one pretty quick. Something about that tight rope cutting their air off settles them down.

Just don't tie it to a four wheeler. Trust me, don't do it. Or try to rope it when the rope is tied to nothing and you are just standing there holding the rope. That is, unless you are wearing skis. Then it might be fun.

I've called the owner three times and he denies its his if no sale barn wants I'll shoot the son of a bitch and drag it to his pasture and let the coyotes eat it.

Why not shoot and eat it? Is it not fit to eat? At least the tenderloins should be good right?

That's an option to but I'd rather take it live to a local processor and get the whole thing processed

This reminds me of a story... I found a copy on darwinadards.com

see below......


Names have been removed to protect the stupid!

I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, sweet feed it on corn for a few weeks, then butcher it and eat it. Yum! Corn-fed venison. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer.

Since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not have much fear of me (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck four feet away) it should not be difficult to rope one, toss a bag over its head to calm it down, then hog-tie it and transport it home.

I filled the cattle feeder and hid behind it with my rope. The cattle, having seen a roping or two before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it.

After 20 minutes, my deer showed up, 3 of them. I picked a likely looking one, stepped out, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell she was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation.

I took a step toward it. It took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope, and received an education. The first thing I learned is that, while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, it is spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope.

That deer EXPLODED.

The second thing I learned is that, pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range, I could fight down with some dignity. A deer? No chance.

That thing ran and bucked, it twisted and pulled. There was no controlling that deer, and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer firmly attached to a rope was not such a good idea. The only upside is that they do not have much stamina.

A brief ten minutes later it was tired, and not as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head.

At that point, I had lost my appetite for corn-fed venison. I hated the thing, and would hazard a guess that the feeling was mutual. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope. But if I let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die slow and painful somewhere.

Despite the gash in my head, and several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's pell-mell flight by bracing my head against large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in. I didn't want the deer to suffer a slow death.

I managed to get it lined up between my truck and the feeder, a little trap I had set beforehand, like a squeeze chute. I backed it in there, and I started moving forward to get my rope back.

Did you know that deer bite? They do!

I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite, so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab hold of that rope, and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like a horse, it does not just bite and let go. A deer bites and shakes its head, like a pit bull. They bite HARD and won't let go. It hurts!

The proper reaction when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and wrenching away. My method was ineffective. It felt like that deer bit and shook me for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds.

Reader Andy says, "Roping a deer (or grabbing a wounded deer by the horns) may seem outrageous but it has been done! And the deer don't like it at all. This kind of foolishness happens frequently. How do I know? I live in North Central Montana and I tried to rope a deer myself once, but I missed. Thankfully. Deer are savage animals when trapped."

Reader Grady nominates another deer hunter.

I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now) tricked it. While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose. That was when I learned my final lesson in deer behavior for the day.

Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up and strike at head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp. I learned long ago that when a horse strikes at you with its hooves and you can't get away, the best thing to do is make a loud noise and move aggressively towards the animal. This will cause it to back down a bit, so you can make your escape.

This was not a horse. This was a deer. Obviously, such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and turned to run.
Darwin intercepted a bounced email from email-a-friend: "After reading this I think I will work on a better scheme. Was reading up on lariats and honda knots, roping technique and supplies, gettin real exited with the idea. Didn't want to feed him corn or anything, just slit his throat real quiet like. Oh well..."


The reason we have been taught NOT to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer are not so different from horses after all, other than being twice as strong and three times as evil. The second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.

When a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately depart. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What it does instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you, while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.

I finally managed to crawl under the truck, and the deer went away. Now I know why people go deer hunting with a rifle and a scope. It's so they can be somewhat equal to the prey.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I'm off work the rest of the week. A couple 4wheelers and some rope and I bet we can get it in a trailer. I had already planned on bringing the kids out tomorrow morning for some slushes anyways. smile

A deer processor cant take it unless he is USDA certified. He will get in big trouble for that. I don't know if a butcher will take one that is dead when it gets there. They might, but, I would call ahead and find out.

Where are you, if Brandon is coming to help you, I want to see this. Hell, I have a rope. Do you have anywhere it could be contained? With some feed and a pen, you should be able to catch it without much trouble.

If you can rope it you can tie it's legs together and drag it on a trailer with a winch or a come along. Once you get a rope on it though you can usually take a rope and run it to the front of the trailer and force it in with a hot stick and a wheeler or horse pulling on the rope.

Don't think any processor will accept a dead cow.


Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I'm in Athens, there's a couple of certified processors nearby and the cow has to be alive when taken, I've had time to research this as it's been an ongoing problem!

Brandon bring a trailer!

The answer to your problem is a gun,knife, and charcoal.

Probably been eating wild onions for the past month and will taste like crap. Pen that thing in and finish him on some high protein feed, then take him in about a month.

Friend of mine had the same problem with a neighbor's horse getting in his green field. My friend kept warning him until he finally shot the horse and drug it to the guys house, dropping it off in his yard at the edge of the front porch.

Years ago a cow jumped my grandmothers fence and got in with her cows. She called the sheriff. He said to run adds in the paper and if no one claimed it after a period of time she could sell it. She fattened up and sold it. She held that money a long time. Being raised in the early 1900s she felt guilty about it.

My son lost some cows during a tornado that hit Lee County two years ago. One was dead and another was broken down that I remember. They had a man come and process both cows in the field. Jeremy told me they were something to watch. I don't remember if my son got any of the beef, or if they gave it all away to the processors to do it. The cows were in an oak flat and trees fell on them during the tornado.

I bet you can find someone close that will do this for you if you just ask. How long has it been since you priced T-Bone steaks in the meat department?

I have also had cows jump the fences here at the house and the owners never came to get them. We sold one just a few months ago we called Rosie that my son and grand daughter rode. We kept Rosie for about ten years and no one ever claimed her but my son. If they don't come get them, call someone with a trailer and forget about them.

I'd treat it just like a 800 lb doe.

A full grown un will choke down pretty quick on a horse. Choke it down and drag it on a trailer
