re: Cows on my lease

If you shot one of our cows.....You're talking thousands of dollars in lost revenue depending on her age.

Now, it sucks they get out, but really, you're going to kill a beautiful animal? If it is a one-off that shouldn't bother you. When it is constant problem then I'd involve the local police. Farmers are responsible for their livestock.

Either way - it is probably the landowner's issue depending on how your lease is set up.
