[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7598381, member: 818"] How much land are we talking about here? And how bad was the fencing etc to start with? There's always going to be a disconnect between self interests in a 'Free grazing in return for keeping things in good order' scenario - the grazier has no incentive to spend any money on the place whatsoever as its 100% lost money. He gets the grazing for free and if he can string (ha ha) you along with the bare minimum maintenance to keep his stock in then he's quids in. You on the other hand want as much spent as possible. To be honest its a terrible way to run things, unless both parties are super conscientious. Far better to fix a proper rent and then spend that on improvements and repairs. In a normal landlord/grazier situation if the cattle wrecked something the grazier should really make good, but generally the landlord is responsible for the general wear and tear on the property. On the other hand one gets the vibe from your post that you are not exactly that au fait with what farmed land is going to look like vs parkland, and maybe expecting too much. Graziers aren't going to 'neaten' fences that are perfectly functional, and string is often used to tie things in place. We need pics! [/QUOTE]
