If I'm reading it right, and I believe I am, it is the responsibility of any livestock owner to keep their stock fenced in........not the responsibility of the adjoining landowner to keep them out. If my cows get out, and get onto a neighbors property that is not fenced off, and do damage, I am not responsible............the first time, but I will be thereafter.
Also, if my stock gets out and does damage to my neighbor, he can attach a lien to my cattle. He can also hold them, if he goes to the trouble of catching them, and make me pay damages before getting them back. A male animal that keeps getting out and getting onto the neighbors property, and breeding the neighbors animals, may be caught and neutered.
Of course, there have been many farmers here accused of purposely allowing the neighbors bull to come onto their land and breed their cows, in order to keep from buying their own bull.
