Nebraska, The land of corn and cattle

puff33m - 3/10/2019 23:41  Is a wire a "legal fence" if they get out and hit a car and kill someone? Maybe an important question.


I hope it is, cuz theres untold thousands of cows out in stalks in this area that only have a single hotwire around them. Lots of them are right next to busy highways as well. Once theyre used to it, and know where it is, theres few issues. Theres nothing on the other side that's better than what they have on their side. 

We let babies run in the stalks with just a single wire all the time, most of the time they don't go farther than the road ditch which is just on the other side of the wire so mom can see them anyway. Weve found the best thing to do is just leave them alone if theyre laying down in the ditch, they'll come back to mom when she wants them to or they get hungry. 

Man it must be tough on you guys that constantly worry about the worst possible thing that could happen.
