TN Livestock fence laws

[graydw1]

Maybe someone here can help me out, if so, thank you. I've got three horses and neighbor has 20+ cows. His bull keeps tearing down the fence between us. Does anyone know of the law that I can make him pay for half of a new fence. I found it at one time and even bookmarked it, but the link is now dead.

Thanks again,

Darrell

Had to check some stuff out the other day myself.

I thought that I had read where you could (not in your neighbors yard or such) clean out three feet across the line to put up a new fence. In other words, cut trees and brush three feet across the line. This is a fence where there is woods/grown up trash plants on his side and pasture on mine.

Hm. I'm thinking, "hamburger".

Seriously, when I had a small farm in Maryland I looked into this kind of thing. You could legally kill the animal as a nusince.

Don't know about Tennessee, though.
