There are solutions, but none are quick and easy unless you contact the owners and they are cooperative. Contact the agency that Hogwild gave you and they will advise you.

There are certain ways that in the end you can round up the cattle and they are yours. As you would figure, there are a lot of hoops to jump through before you get to this point.

Not only can you capture and sale them to recoup your losses, the owner can be also be held liable and responsible for your losses above what the cattle brought.

There are very specific Laws about this.

Correct, it is my understanding that it is kind of like a towing company towing a car and holding it for the storage fees. If not paid after awhile they file for the title. No title involved in cattle, but the situation is kind of similar. As in most legal situations, the first step would be contacting the owner and document it, preferably by certified mail.

Start reading Alabama code 3-5, I went thru 10, might help you legal wise to know where you stand.

After 7 years of cows getting into our foodplots
and calling the owner numerous times and offering
to help him fix his fence, we took another
strategy.
We sent him a certified letter demanding $700 for
damages. We also told him that we left our
gate open when we were working in there, or
hunting.
Then we told him that this letter put into writing
the potential liability he faced if his cattle caused a
wreck. We also mentioned that a teenage girl
had been killed in the area after running into
a bull.
We carbon copied the sheriff.
We got our $700 and never saw the cattle on our
place again.

don't do like a friend of mines father did several years ago in Greene Co. Seems his neighbor raised hogs and would let the fence down so they could get to his corn fields. This went on for a couple of years after repeated efforts to stop it. Opening day of dove season he had a big shoot and supplied everyone with buckshot and had a hog drive. Then told the neighbor to come get his dead hogs off his land. No more problems.

I used to know a guy that actually shot a horse. Seems the horse kept getting into his green fields. After numerous attempts to correct the issue, he shot the horse, hooked his Jeep to it, and drug it back to the owner’s house.

I've always been told that acorns are poisonous to cows. There was an explanation for it that I can't recall, but it has something to do with the Tanic Acid in acorns. True or not?

If the land owner has been notified his cows are out and he continues to do nothing, then show up with the sheriff and let him explain to the cattle owner that there are laws for running animals at large

Just find a discreet butcher
