PorkPal, we live on about a 1 mile road that T's at either end, with most properties being 10-20 acres. When we first moved here, almost everyone ran cows and cows being cows, they were always getting out to go be with the other cows. I always thought it would be genius to simply fence off our yards and driveways, do away with the side fencing, and keep the back and front fences, sort of a modified open-range. Needless to say, my dyed-in-the-wool neighbors thought I was off my rocker. Must have been a carry-over from my hippie days when we all thought communal living was the answer...
