I know for a fact, that that's the way it used to be, and I've never heard of any changes being made to the law.
When we were on the farm/ranch back in the late '70's and early '80's, we lived near a highway where there was 24 miles between the two towns nearest to us. If ANYONE's cattle were out on that 24 miles, they tended to tell the police in the town nearest to us, so we'd have to go check all our cattle and fences near the highway to make sure it wasn't our cattle.
Police just naturally called us for some reason, even though most of the time ours weren't out.

Ain't that aggravating! You gotta go check just in case but 9 out of 10 times if someone says they KNOW it's my cattle......then it ain't mine. Then ya also get the calls where someone thinks they saw one out. I appreciate the calls and I'm sure I sound aggravated but I'm actually laughing thinking about all the dry runs I've been on just cuz you can't ignore folks.
I don't know about the current law, but 20+ years ago a friend of mine had a cow get out and he got to pay for damages to a van plus medical bills. His cattle certainly were not habitual offenders. He took good care of his fences and it was very rare for one to get out.
A-1, grill medium well, eat..
Medium well? Now that's what I call animal cruelty .
Now, Now, medium well is for roadkill cattle. Got's to kill off that harmful bacteria.
Depends on how freshly road-killed it is. If you get there soon enough, road kill is as good as anybody's meat.
Nah, I’ve picked up a couple of fresh road killed deer that my wife hit and it’s not good depending on where it’s hit I guess. Both of hers had so much damaged bloodshot meat that 90% wasn’t salvageable. Both totaled out the vehicle.
On our annual elk hunt in NM I spotted a calf elk with a broken leg on the side of the road. Called GW and another member of this forum ended up with the animal after the GW put it down.
They have an interesting process in NM. If your a resident, you can put your name into a list to be drawn for road kill. Since we reported it, it ended up in a bidding war with the next person on the road kill list. When it got to $50, the party backed out. Our forum member got a 250-300 lb calf with little bad meat. Elk meat is tough to beat.
Elk legs are so tall they just roll over the vehicle. Whitetail take it hard.
My mother hit a button buck on her way to her job in Altus. She called me on the phone, and by the time I got there his heart was still beating. I punched a knife in his throat and he drained pretty well. As good as any venison I ever had. I don't even care if The Man is listening.
