Fow.de n explains.
Carolina Cattle Once llad a Legal
Right To Forage On Any Cnfenced
Land
The "no fence" law passed by the
state legislature is a part of modern
history, for this act prohibiting cat
11 * from being turned loose in the
urifenced woods was adopted with
in the memory of young men
Before tin- law became state wide,
some counties had local laws requir
ing people to keep cows and hogs
penned. At that time there was a
fence that followed the boundary
lines to keep farm animals out of
the counties where it was unlawful
for them to have full freedom of the
forest A traveler would have to
stop and open the "county gate" that
separated the free cattle grazing
lands from the open crop lands where
animals were forbidden the privilege
of invading a neighbor's farm and
forest.
The "no fence" phrase for the law
comes from the idea that farm crops
would not need fences to protect
them, if it were required by law that
each owner should keep his cattle
j penned within the hounds of his
own lands
The cows apd hogs that lived by
forage in the open woods were of a
low type. Those that survived with
little attention from the owner were
not the valuable nor choice breeds,
but there was little expense involv
ed
By a brand or an ear mark each
farmer could identify his stock.
Brands were registered in the court
. house. Thieves would often invade
the forests, kill a cow, and take the
meat and hide to market. To conceal
the crime the ears would be missing
from the hide, for the owner's iden
i tification mark was cut into the
ears An act was passed which made
| it unlawful to sell or buy a hide with
the ears missing
A book published in England ov
<r 150 years ago discussed "herds."
! Some farmers in North Carolina
owned "fmm 300 to 1,200 and even
to 2.000 cows, bulls, oxen, and young
cattle; hogs also in prodigious num
bers''
The author observed that the Car
olina farmer's "management" was to
let them run loose in the woods all
day, and to bring them up at night
by the sound of a horn; sometimes,
! particularly in winter, they keep
| them during the night in inclosures,
giving them a little food, and Jetting
the cows and sows to the calves and
pigs." This made them come home
the more regularly.
