Sorry guys. This cow has been walking thru any and all fences for 3 or 4 years. Totally uncontainable. Jumps out of pens and thru fences. Comes to my food plots at will, loves to attack young sawtooth. Has been a joke and a problem and i guess i am the punch line. It is well documented in my property tour.
Last fall lawyer and i decided we would shoot her and have processed on halves but i could not find a processor to do it and not sure i could load her. So that didnt work.
N3xt plan dart gun but still loading issue. Then catch and sell. THEY HAD HER!!
I should not be the one looking for solution but seems to be only me. I have been nice. I want a good neighbor and want to be one. She had her first calf recently cute as a button. So i figure the lawyers wife and kids fell in love with calf, picture in property tour.
I need resolution and getting her gone was it.
What should i do?
How can anyone hate this cow, right?
Here she is in my food plot area

DANG! Once that calf is weened looks like perfect eating size to me! After a couple months of corn feeding of course!

Throw in a Lobster Tail with that Steak, and I will come down and join the upcoming meal..............
Here you can be compensated for any damage someone's livestock does to your property...time, seed, fertilizer, trees, labor...Any laws like that in your area?

The lawyer has offered to pay for any damages previously. We will chat but I am not sure he knows the cattleman sent me the picture

Load her up and give her to another farmer. The owner of that cow should butcher her. It may not be max value out of her, but he would't lose his shirt either.

It appears that right now that cow isn't an inconvenience to the owner. Once they becomes an inconvenience ranchers are great at replacing cows (my fil sells cows every yr; fence jumpers, bullies at the feed trough, bad mommas, sickly, etc. He has no patience for traits that make his life harder or less productive.). Start calling the owner every morning (at 3:00am?) to come get his cow out of your foodplot would probably help speed it up. Or knock on his door at that time to tell him you need help getting his cattle off of your place.

Exactly they should have.
I will approach with cool head. Well, cool for me.
I still want a good neighbor
This is a bad situation for sure. Not quite the same but I have a couple neighbors on my rode that got into an argument over a dog during deer season. The dog disappeared about a week later. Everyone knows what happened and who did it but no proof is to be had. Neighbors need to respect neighbors which includes property lines. My wife is an animal lover to the end and is a little upset with me because I told one of my neighbors that if they can't control their beagles I would help them out. My wife and neighbor both know what I meant by it. They have just a little longer to figure it out.

You need to speak lawyer to a lawyer. File a lawsuit.

A friend had a neighbors horse doing the same thing. He and the neighbor have never gotten along. He complained to the local police, but nothing was ever done. He tried just about everything short of shooting it. He finally bought a taser. He hit the horse every time he could and the horse became a nervous wreck. The owner finally had the horse put down when it attacked one of his kids. For the last year though the horse would not come near the fence line.

That's exactly what my Dad would always do!
My dad would always just deal with it...he had some of the most cantankerous livestock you have ever seen...I don't know how many times I have seen him bucked off mules and horses he had over the years 
I had a couple cantankerous cattle years ago I could not catch...I even had a couple cowboys try to help me corral up a bull I had and he wore us all out and was still loose...I ended up shooting both of those cattle...Good friend of mine owned a butcher shop so a comealong onto a trailer with a tarp over them and off to the butcher shop we went...
