I did and did not know who's cows they were. I called the Sheriff and they came out with a man and they gathered them and hauled them to an auction ring. The owner finally was found and they had to pay handling fees and boarding cost. They never got out again.

Shooting them is against the law. Not a good way to go.
The one with the cattle has the responsibility to keep his cattle in, if he does not he is liable for damages to other people or property.. Are the cattle branded?
My God! Was the wild cow shot by deputies involved in a felony, not complying with verbal orders and threatening them with deadly force? Was the one that got into the car wreck driving drunk or under the influence? Were these wild cows influenced by associating with the wrong crowd? We have to nip this in the bud right now! Stop this terror before Al Sharphorns arrives.
IF they should not be there and attack, you can defend yourself.
Putting them in your freezer is where it dicey.
If they totally disappear and deny any knowledge of them, it is up to him to prove.
Crappy situation to be put in.
Make an offer to buy the property.

Damn I’m still recovering but I’m getting that excited feeling in my belly like a fat kid going to the candy store. I’ll send you a pm.
That is pretty much the way I believe these situations are handled and handled best.
Having a neighbor like that sucks, and I feel for you, but the guys calling for shooting Livestock have clearly never owned Livestock. I’ve had other peoples cows on me, but have truthfully had my cows out dozens of times more. I actually have one out currently and am dealing with the neighbor on it, who is a stand up guy like the rest of my neighbors and I’ve been treated far better than I deserve by the adjoining landowners to me. I wish you had neighbors like I do, because everything would be easier.
