I’m not quite sure I agree with it. If I bought the property next to yours and had no livestock for five years. Then I purchase 20 buffalo. Would you consider me rude for expecting you to fence out my livestock? Or should I fence in my livestock?
Well the dude moved in to established ranch country. The buffalo were there when he came. I suppose that newbies moving into an area and buying 3 acre “ranches” would end up just causing trouble for the sake of causing trouble and it would probably end up in civil court.
I suppose that if I had a hundred thousand acres, and you moved in and bought a hundred thousand acre ranch next to it, then that would be different. But most people couldnt afford to buy a hundred thousand acres like the ranches here and then leave them empty. We are talking real working ranches, up in South Park, and they probably run 20,000 to 30,000 acres. If your buffalo bothered me, I’d pen them and charge you enough for handling fees that youde take care of them after that. That is the way it is done.
Ah,ah,ah,ah,
Colorado law.
Says that if a fence is necessary to be built on a property line that each party has to pay their half of it, and have to maintian their half of it. So, yes, you are right on both counts, the law would say that a fence had to be built, and you would have to pay for half of building and maintaining it.
