Rogue Tups in with Tack ewe lambs.

Both of those are fairly major accidents which surely you are both insured for. Is it not worth making a claim?

No. My insurance is a big 5 figure sum. We are heavily insured small claims aren’t worth perusing.

Also if the landowner was checking the sheep twice a day, why did he not notice the tups right away.

And why isn’t his fencing keeping them out?

If you put tups next to ewes/gimmers in season they will get in eventually

That’s the way I’m on too. No way do I take money off folk for these things even if I’m offered.
My mate next door had 20 cows go through a wall of ours when he was moving them the other day. He was adamant he was going to pay me but I wouldn’t be on with it. I told him it wouldn’t be long until something happened the other way round. It wasn’t one of the back bale spikes snapped on one of our tractors and knocked his wall down I think it was the next day

Must of been some spike

They snap every winter here when the temperature is below freezing snapped 2 KV ones one morning

.22 should take care of the problem!

@Hughesy when pepper has the land next to me in the winter I just don’t graze 60 acre that borders the land he rents leaving a few hundred metres as a scab and ram border. Could your friend not have done this?

Some people have no feckin idea though do they!! My neighbour thinks nothing of putting his suckler up against mine when the bulls are out, if he rang up I would gladly move mine to accommodate, like I ring him!!! But unfortunately he is a grade A green wellied winker!!!!!

I agree, but it would probably give you a chance if they were being checked twice a day

It happens to me fairly often I never charge anyone anything as I’m feared that will bite me on the ar@e if/when the tables turned.

I sympathise with @Tim W , but try to remember 'no path is so short you can't cross it twice'

I once had sheep on a farm with several of us hill monkies resident for the winter.
One old boy had hoggs there, and asked me the following autumn if I'd had a ram get out.
Didn't think so I assured him...getting a bit concerned where this was going.
Don't panic he said.
A whole bunch of his hoggs started lambing out of the blue late spring.
They lambed easy, and the lambs went early on a highly lucrative light lamb trade at just the right spec.
He was looking to buy one of us a drink!

I can remember this happening a couple of times in the past where the accident type of breeding was better pay than the planned breeding.
Neighbour had a Leicester tup on his mule ewes got slagged off by everyone round about- topped the store sale
Uncle had a neighbours Swale tup on his mule ewes - topped store sale
My BBx Lim bull jumped over the wall into neighbours cows I offered to pay but he said he wasn’t bothered he kept some of the heifers to breed off and sold some they made more than his blonde calves he even asked me for a lend of it the next year

If this is causing the op grief which it obviously is either change of sheep grazing or landowner puts up a proper fence. Yes other chaps tups shouldn.t be in where they were but sh!t happens
