Hi
Thanks for the support. The department handed over the cards for the cattle when the went to the guys farm too make sure all his cattle were tagged and had cards. As the cattle where mine they took the cards and sent them to me. Most of the bullocks have gone to the factory. All the cows are pregnant and we all so have a few late season calf's left.

The bull is being sent auction in a few weeks as it is a rare breed( a Scottish Galloway). All of the cows will be sold along with the calves in the summer.

Thanks again

Hi

Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Most of its been sorted the lawyer sent out the letter but the cows didn't move. So he rang the department about it just to check things. Turns out the cows are all under my late dads herd number, so I can now do what ever I want with them, They are also considering reducing his herd number limits with visits from the department every 3 months. Once the department started investigating him the tax people got on his case cause his name was flagged when it got sent through the system so he owes a pile of tax as well. And my mum has decided to go to court for him trespassing in the field multiple times.

I suppose he got what was coming to him

He certainly did.

That chape grass for him doesn't look too cheap now I'll bet.

That's a great result he must be a right b***is knowing that and still not wanting yo pay for the grass. Your up alot so by the sounds of it. Keep an eye out for revenge the like of him won't lay down on that one.

Take your costs for land and your time sorting the problem and return the balance if any to him

That's what I'd suggest

I wouldn't be so cocky about the way things have gone. Ownership could still be disputed even though the cattle are in your dads herd number. The law is usually on the side of the unlawful unfortunately

I had similar problems having bought cattle a few years ago and then the man died. The animals were in his herd but I had paid for them. It took along time to sort that particular issue out

Had he cashed the cheque, Bob?

yes, I had created a movement permit, but there was someone interfering with the mans post if you get my drift. Took many many months but I had the Dept on my side.

Where there's a will, there's a way relative.

+1. Did he own the cattle but transferred them into your dads herd no for whatever reason? If so keep your costs and return the balance to him. You have your land back and payment for rent. You don't need to stoop to his level. No luck in it.

Seems as though 'The Field' is still alive and well in this country.

Had the same with my cousin after my uncle died. Uncle left the farm to my mother. She had fond memories of him when he was a child and let him graze his cattle there while we decided what to do. The fec*** drove his tractor through stone walls that were built by my grandfather instead of opening the gate. Robbed 2 gates when we told him to get off the land.

I wouldn't have too much sympathy for that fella using the land and your dad's name for his own good, but I agree that if you have money left over it should go back to him, chances are someone else is out of pocket from him too.

When you started this I'm sure all you wanted was him out and hopefully you might get something for your mum. You got a windfall so take out what is due to you less your expenses like the solicitor and so on then get your solicitor to pass a cheque back if there was a bit left over.

I wouldn't give him any leftover money. I'd donate it to a charity that helps out farmers. Some of the farmers here probably know a few.

And send him a photocopy of the receipt so that he knows where the money went and you have proof what you did with it also.

Follow Delavals advice.

No doubt in his mind he's completely in the right and will probably have no hesitation in dragging you through the courts.
Don't give feckers like that a leg to stand on!
