Re: Cattle Fence

Your neighbor is responsible for keeping his cows on his property, and is trespassing if he doesn't do so. Your neighbor should bear the cost of any enclosure necessary to keep his cows on his property. If you are interested, I would be happy to discuss with you ways to resolve the issue with your neighbor.
