Is he deliberately provoking you ?

MAJJ

Hi Ginger, I saw your last thread and was hoping for some positivity but with your health and the external global situation best just document this for now as this will be noones priority and will just wear you down. Best of luck

I will, maybe it is time I make a welfare complaint.

Think it's time you just fence your own garden. That measly hedge and bit of a fence would not keep anything out.
The farmer seems to be prick but you could easily stop it by fencing off your own garden properly for your own piece of mind

That's not a stock proof fence it's a pathetic attempt of a fence.

See picture one. Lamb on right what fence is under there? Zero
A stock proof fence should have a line of thorned wire above the sheep wire.
Think you should just bite the bullet and just fence your garden properly. Because that is not a fence you have.

That grass looks more like its a field instead of a lawn grass.

Think of the hungry sheep and their little lambs.

seriously, once they get a taste of fresh grass its will be hard to keep them out unless proper fencing is put up.
you may have to stump up and get it fenced yourself for peace of mind.


Had a neighbour call, where we have land beside him to inform us that we need to tend the fencing on our end as He's sheep were breaking into our field.

The above isn't an ideal solution but I'm in agreement that it's time to bite the bullet and hopefully solve the problem once and for all. It's probably not the answer you wanted but I'd recommend putting in a stock proof fence (this being a fence that stock don't actually come through) and moving on with your life.

You've tried the legal route and it doesn't seem to have succeeded so I think it's time to forget about who's right or wrong and just eliminate the problem. Yes this isn't fair but sadly that's the way the world works sometimes and you have to get on with it. There's some won't ever conform to what is deemed acceptable and tbh it's very difficult to win in such circumstances despite what the law of the land might lead you to believe.

If it's only an average type garden boundary then it can't be too difficult or expensive to fence it adequately. I'd be inclined to hire a professional or at least a competent handy man, it's only a boundary fence at the end of the day. A few hundred euro should go along way and you'll have peace of mind and can then put all this behind you. No doubt the easily outraged will be on soon to say this is ridiculous and too take those responsible to court once again. However this isn't a Judge Judy episode and sadly sometimes being in the right isn't enough. It's ultimately up to you but I think a different approach is needed seeing as you've have little success so far.

Hire the farmer to do it😂

This is land that the farmer is renting? I’d approach the land owner first and make him aware of the situation.. I understand that OP has a disability, maybe other posters arent aware of this. Not exactly easy for OP to repair lawn or erect new fence from a wheelchair. The farmer seems to be under the illusion his insurance wont cover the work and doesnt want to pay for it.. If I was OP id approach farmer and ask him to put up a stock proof fence asap and to keep the livestock out. Id draw a line on the damage caused last year and get the original landscaper who designed the lawn to repair it.. I’d find it hard to believe they’d charge much to repair... Its important the fence is erected before repairs to the lawn...

If the fence isn’t repaired id approach the landowner explain this issue is causing you some distress and ask can they help you. They could stipulate in next years lease that the fence is stock proofed, they could offer to pay for it themselves out of the rent.. Another option would be to rent the land yourself and sell the bales off it. You have control of the ground..

Didnt you get a judgement against the farmer.
Did you chase him?
Did he pay?

I haven't read your earlier thread in full so probably am unaware of the extent of your troubles. but wouldn't them sheep give that lawn anice clipping now with abit of dry weather arriving.

leave it in good order for the growing season. i know I'd love to have a few for mine on occasion. save me the job of mowing.

Probably not helpful for you, but best of luck anyway
