- Fish and Animal – Randy Garrison was absent but we discussed the cow problem. As there is a fence in bad shape, the cows are a major concern this year. They are causing serious damage in SCP. Our neighbors, the Diamond Tail Ranch, have had problems as well and have recently filed a complaint with the Forest Service. The board discussed options and decided that we would also file a formal complaint and hope that Mr. Borgmann will fix the fence to keep his cows from causing more damage in SCP. Motion was made by Ray Herrmann to have David Mickelson contact the Forest Service and file a formal complaint. Second by Carrie Staiano. Motion carried. If need be, we might also be able to pin the cows in a fenced property and contact the Brand Inspector for help.
