I have some property in East TX and leased out the grazing rights to a local cattle guy on the property for a few years. He is running probably double the head that he should have on the property and it is starting to show, he feeds hay but it isnt really helping the land.
In the lease agreement it states he is responsible for providing the cattle water, food and fencing. I have a well on the property and a 1 acre tank that currently is full of water.
I have asked him to pull off cows for a number of years now but I never get a straight answer, or him to remove cows. I went ahead and cut water off to the cattle troughs from my well at the end of the year to let him know that I am serious knowing that the cattle can still get water from the tank. Any other thoughts on how I could push him to get some cattle off of the property, asking nicely isnt working?
