    How much is a cow & calf worth hit by a drunk driver

    Well Sunday my buddy comes over to camp and is freaking out, his neighbors teenage son took the short cut though his ranch because he got wasted in town
    And center punched a momma cow & a buck in back to back wrecks
    They can’t find the helfer calf .
    My opinion was kid and parents pay market price for cow + 10 years of calving
    And if helfer calf can’t be found they owe market + 10 production on it too

    And if insurance takes liability
    What’s fair and equitable?

    Insurance will more than likely cover only market value of the animals that can be proven dead.

        Market price for the animals is all that’s owed.

          Once they pay for the cow he can buy another one so I don’t see the 10 years of calving part.

                  This.

                  I don't think it's the same as paying restitution on game animals.

                  Livestock can be replaced at market value.

                    Kids parents fressed up when question why he was was cutting through on the ranch
                    Parents are pretty liberal about letting both their kids drink on weekends

                      Market value only. Buy a new cow and calf, and let them raise babies for the next 10 years.

                        Replacement cost. Not what she would bring through the ring right now.

                        Does the neighbor have decent cattle? Your buddy should be able go hand pick his replacement.

                            You wont get nearly as much as you think you should. And with no arrest or police report of a failed field sobriety test, who is to say he was drunk?

                            Market value and move on with life. No more short cuts through the ranch. Problems solved
