Having some issues with neighbours and looking for advice.
Neighbours house surrounded by our land, a few months ago their dog got into our sheep by jumping the fence. To stop it happening again they’ve had deer fencing installed. For a month we’ve not had cows in that field to allow for the fence to be erected. Let cows back in and they’ve taken to scratching along her fence so today gotten a very passive aggressive message from said neighbour about the cows trying to break through her new expensive fence and a link to how to keep livestock in. I know we can electric fence around that but why should I loose ground when grazing is already scarce? Where do I stand with this and how do I reply/speak to them diplomatically? In Scotland if that makes a difference. TIA
