Thread: when is cattle feral?

Brads. Not looking to start a shitfight, but genuinely interested. Why would you look to DOC to help fence YOUR farm ? Do they (govt) have an issue with your cattle going onto DOC land?

Because DOC are supposed to pay half the fencing cost mate...., it's a boundary
$20 a meter 8k of bush edge you do the Maths.
No they don't really have an issue as we want to fence it...........
DOC claim they have no money
The loops do complain when they stand in a shit thow.
It's really only an issue in winter when the cows are hungry.
But they do go a fair way in, seen cows way up the roki.

Fair enough. Town houses share cost of boundary fences so I guess DOC should do the same. Such a shame they dont have any money though......YEAH RIGHT!
Invoice them for every cow you loose to poachers.

How can someone be a poacher if they knock over a mooie in the bush while holding a permit that allows them to?
The reason the mooie is in the bush for the start is there is no fence.
So either the farmer is being negligent in not adequately keeping his stock contained or DOC is negligent for not keeping the farmers stock out of its land ( forgetting pastoral lease on which a permit shouldn't be issued for that area anyway)

As Tahr said - common sense - if it looks like daisy, has a bell or has a ear tag, then prob isn't feral

DOC has a higher obligation to fence Brad's cattle out, than he has to fence them in on account of the Gov being exempt from the Fencing Act.

You have to take the fucktards to court to get anything from them unless you want some 1080 that's free for all.

Isn't this a health and safety issue for those using DOC land, having beasts roaming round, you need to talk with OSH

Standard conditions
This permit only allows ground based non-commercial hunting of deer, pigs, goats, wallabies, chamois or tahr within the timeframe specified as "permit validity period", unless otherwise stated in the Special Conditions


I dont see any mention of cattle in the above, taken from my hunting permit. So I guess that unless you have a special clause, they are off the menu whichever way you look at it. So yeah, poaching.

Fair comment. Thank you, that clears it up for me. I thought it did mention feral cattle but I was wrong (although I will check my permit when I get home).
