Cows trampling problem :(

[SteveA]

Today a neighbouring farm let their cows in their field, they escaped through their stock fence, jumped our brook, churned up the woodland floor, trampled through our entire horticulture area of raised beds and they've eaten god knows what.

 

Not been a good day

All that hard work we've done in the past year, demolished in a couple hours

 

Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers, Steve

Ahh gutting!!

 

Had the same problem with planting trees and horses getting into the field in the spring time and eating all the buds and leaves, not a great feeling to see most things wiped out.

I live in mortal terror of my herd doing this one day. Most responsible livestock keepers will insure against such eventualities, it may look awful at the moment, but some help should be there to put thing right.

Here it's been deer (wild). Every time I got decent growth going on the fruit trees they got taken out. I thought it was muntjack so put 4' wire mesh tubes over them, only to find it was roe or fallow, cue re-think on bush form trees and a installing rings over the top of the tubes.

I'd be wanting compensation, did a new lawn once through insurace co because of cows
