I keep my gardening inside the chain-link fenced yard due to all the varmits ( hogs/'coons/chupacabras) around here . Still have a few fruit and nut trees out there .

My neighbor used to keep goats until I caught one in a peach tree . I told him "no biggie , mi gusta cabrito ." Voila! No more goats .

Anyway , he stopped by the other day and asked if he could rent my pasture for his sheep to graze on . My pasture fence isn't in the best shape so I have a few concerns .

1) Will sheep climb a chain-link fence or destroy fruit trees ?

2) Am I legally responsible if the sheep get out and cause an accident ?

3) Would his usage of my property give him any claim to ownership ?

4) How do you cook a sheep ?

No, don't do it.

I defer all 'SHEEP' related questions to the East Texas boys.

ewe are so baaaaaaaad

Guinness mutton stew.

If something happens your neighbor will probably go on the lamb.

We don't do that . That's what heifers and mares are for .

As long as you have a legal lease requiring the lessee to maintain fences and responsibility, the landowner has no liability.

Not a good place to get legal advice.

One of the elements of adverse possession ("squatting") is whether the use is "hostile" to the landowner. Use of land under a valid written lease is not hostile.



Get yourself an authentic Greek to do the job properly.

Have I ever mentioned that my mother was born in Greece?

Nor to GIVE

The cattlemen of old claimed that sheep ruined pastures.
