And it's that time of year. I find it so sad that I need "private property" and a "no trespassing" signs for the summer and fall. 🤦♀️ I really wonder what would happen if I was sitting by their pool in Jersey when they woke up.
As the weather warms up and people start getting out more, please remember just because you can see animals on a property does not mean you are invited to visit them.
Do not ever enter someone’s fields, barn, paddock or go anywhere near the animals unless you have explicit permission on that day. Not “oh it was ok last year, so this year should be fine”. You will need permission that day,. If you can not find someone,walk away. Being family or a close friend does not exclude you from this rule. You have no idea what is happening with those animals, on that day. Are they ill, recovering from something, on medicines that affect how they might respond to you? Was there a recent change in the herd that has made everyone in the field on edge? Uninvited guests are dangerous and unacceptable.
We had out of state individuals wandering our farm this afternoon. How would you feel if I was wandering around your backyard, feeding your children? You would not be pleased.
If we find you on our property without permission, it will not be pretty. Enjoy the weather and make sure you respect boundaries!
