Hi,
Came back from my wedding/holiday at the weekend and realised cows had been on the garden and have left hoof holes everywhere.
This has happened before. At the time the farmer called in and explained what had happened. He rolled the garden but it was never the same. I just let it go. There is only one farmer who moves cattle down our road so I'm presuming it is him. I have given him a couple of days to call in about in but he hasn't. In my opinion the lawn needs to be relaid.
I was told farmers need to have insurance to cover this kind of thing? Is this correct? If not could I claim on my house insurance to have it relaid? What are the implications if the farmer refuses to admit it was his cattle? I don't have a good or bad relationship with him but it's annoying me that he never called in or left a note. It may well be that I'm blaming him in the wrong but I doubt it. Hopefully he's not taking advantage of the fact I wasn't home.
Any thoughts on what I should do next would be appreciated.
