Karma's a bitch ain't it?

My town neighbours are all good, now that there's no uni share house over the back fence. They weren't whiners or anything, just had a lot of summer parties where they played really shit music late in the night and 2 of our second storey bedrooms looked over their backyard.

I've got one prick of a neighbour at the farm. The old cocky who owned the place before me never formalised the easier access road with the previous neighbours (gentlemans handshak was good enough for him). Naturally, the grumpy old Italian who bought the property closed off that access. No worries for me when I bought the place. I went to the next property over and they said "sure, come through ours". It was a couple extra gates and took 5 minutes instead of 3 but still better than the 25 minute trek via the bush track at the back. These neighbours told me that they'd be selling with a possible subdivision in a couple years and that they'd break off a strip that lead from the main road to my block and sell it to me at a good price. Anyway, time comes and it's a crappy time to sell so they get no real interest (awesome grazing land but it was the middle of the drought). The only person interested is the old Italian, and naturally he won't buy if there's someone else's access road through the middle. Bugger.

Anyway, over the next couple of years I have frequent visits from Italian cows, breaking through the fence in search of the only available grass they can see. Their entire property looks like a desert wasteland (even after the drought) and with more than 1000head of cattle on under 1000acres and no room for paddock rotation they're starving. They get 1 round bale a day between the whole herd, barely enough for an appetiser. Bulls are running with the young heifers and getting them all pregnant well before they're ready and he won't sell any cause no one is offering what he thinks he should be getting. He tries to pass off 3 year olds as weaners at the sales (due to their stunted growth) and the buyers get wind and cancel the sale.
Anyway, Karma caught up to him the other week. He got a Visit from the RSPCA and he police and the result was over 900 head being taken off the property. I was out there on the weekend and struggled to see a cow on his property, let alone the 30 odd that have been constantly on mine for the last year.
