[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 4115018, member: 4864"] Used to be county by county till the state passed herd law, so no, OK is not open range any longer and hasnt been as a whole for a few decades. That applies to trees, boundary lines etc. and doesnt apply when animals are involved. [B]All domestic animals shall be restrained by the owner thereof at all times and seasons of the year from running at large in the State of Oklahoma. [/B] Damages caused by the domestic animals trespassing upon lands of another shall be recovered in a manner provided by law (remember this, because it will get tweaked later). [B] For the purpose of this act, domestic animals shall include cattle, horses, swine, sheep, goats, exotic livestock and all other animals not considered wild.[/B] An owner of (or person who keeps) cattle, horses, sheep, or other domestic animals has a duty to exercise ordinary care to keep them from running at large AND is responsible for all damage to property and injuries to persons that are directly caused by the domestic animals. HOWEVER – an owner is not liable for damages caused by domestic animals that have escaped unless it is shown that the owner did not exercise ordinary care in confining them in a properly maintained enclosure that is generally adequate to restrain the domestic animals [URL unfurl="true"]https://extension.okstate.edu/programs/farm-management-and-finance/e-farm-management-training/legal-issues-for-farmers-ranchers/site-files/docs/fence-law-and-pasture-leasing-in-oklahoma.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
