I own a 10,000 acre cattle farm in a mountainous area. The northern perimeter is secured with a house and employees. However, the southern perimeter is not very secure at all. Barbed wire fencing is all that separates my cattle from the thieves that are sucking me dry!
The southern perimeter borders a road, and I suspect that the thieves are entering there. Unfortunately, the border is over 3 miles, making it difficult to secure. The thieves are stealing so much cattle that my numbers are actually SHRINKING! I also suspect that my neighbors are involved, but it is proving tough to implicate them in this, due to the remoteness of the farm.
My question is: how should I proceed? Should I create a post with a person watching at all times? That seems prohibitively difficult. Is there any high tech solution available for such a large farm?
Let me add that the police have been notified and have done absolutely nothing to help. I don't think that they will do a thing, so I'm on my own.
I need some ideas!
