Thread: when is cattle feral?

Toby I think with that attitude you'd be a good candidate for free dental work in a lot of areas I know. If you did it to my old mans cattle you'd be lucky to survive.

Your old mans cattel untagged and roaming around in the middle of a doc block?

Here it is illegal to not have them tagged. But courtesy, common sense and respect comes into play. that's what I have against city cowboys who come out to the country firing guns at everything that moves. Just because something may be technically legal doesn't make it right or ok.
So you think it's ok to shoot someones cows in DOC land even though it may have escaped through a fence that's had a branch over it, or one cut by poachers, or just cows that have jumped a perfectly good fence is fair enough just because you've got there before the farmer has been able to?
Here in Aus not two months back a bloke got jail I read for shooting cattle on public land.

Toby the aussies put cattle and sheep in bush areas on their properties to graze off the black oats and undergrowth that grows in there, while I was there for wheat harvest last year not once did I see livestock in an open area unless they were put there to have a bit of a nibble on the wheat stubble other than that they were amongst the trees even saw sheep crossing the roads over there as dam near all of the outback roads go through other peoples properties and each property boundary has a grid (cattle stop) in the road and believe me you do not want to piss an aussie farmer off. Never assume that cattle seen on DoC land is free for the taking
