[quote Troll][quote Stickhorse]Bovineowner, I feel your pain. As a rancher I too have felt some frustrations. A number of years ago we provided an access point for sportsmen through our place to a popular fishing area in Idaho. I figured I would put in 2 gate points in case somebody forgot to close the one by the road. Long story short both gates were left open and 8 cows got out on the road. 5 were hit by a truck and killed and the driver injured. Guess who is still paying? The trash and piles of crap left on our property next to the water were unbelievable. I guess I would say to those who wish to attack us for worrying about our livelihood. Just help us out by helping us police those very few that don't respect our rights. Take a trash bag and clean up after those that won't. For those of you already doing those things. Thank you.[/quote]

Absolutely. It would be my privilege to do that.[/quote]


Most of us would be happy to help. Further, I think many of us would offer our services to help construct any fencing to help prevent the cows and bulls from stomping people. Financial help can be gained for fencing as well -- we can create access points to allow for your cattle to continue to water. This would also help with your flood concerns by stabilizing bank structure and increasing riparian areas.

This can truly be a win / win situation for both the public and the private - but the private needs to be willing to work with the public. We've been offering help to the private for years, but he private has always had reservations -- ignorant reservations. It's time to end the ignorance and take advantage.


FWIW -- being called "ignorant" is not name-calling. Next time someone calls you ignorant, look up the definition of ignorant before you cry "foul!". You might learn something.

Definition: ignorant
lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
