Well the last couple of Days some of us have been at training. We have been learning how to handle Livestock with our Stockdogs. Burnet county, Travis County and Tarrant county are on the forefront in Texas using Stockdogs to help us do our job safer and more effecient. The dogs allow us to have better control of the situation and keep the scene safer for the public the Deputies and reduce possible property damage or injury to the Livestock. Here are a couple of videos from the training at Diamond J Stockdogs!

We’re only 10 days into the month, and we’ve already taken in 44 (yes, FOURTY-FOUR) animals needing care and love! And with our kennels under renovation, space is tight. That means we need our community now more than ever to help these pets find their forever homes or a cozy foster spot to ride out the renovations.

For the next 5 days, we’re thrilled to partner with BISSELL Pet Foundation Clear the Shelters event, offering $10 adoptions to help find homes for these deserving pets. There’s no better time to bring a new friend home! 💕🐶🐱

Come visit us, meet some amazing pets, and be part of something life-changing. Every adoption opens a kennel for another pet in need, so let’s clear the shelters together! 🌟

PSA, we have been busy with Livestock getting out. Other counties as well. The heat and lack of rain has them restless. This is just a few we have hamdled and retured to owners in the last two weeks. Some of them we assited the owners in finding them after they went missing. Please communicate with the Sheriff’s office if your Livestock is missing and when you find one. Often times we can connect people before we have to pick them up.

Burnet county. Who do I call if I have estray Livestock on my property?

According to the Chapter 142 of the Texas Agriculture Code, the person in possession of the estray, or stray livestock, is required to “report the presence of the estray to the sheriff of the county in which the estray is discovered.”

There is no such thing as finders keepers regarding estray livestock in Texas or Oklahoma. The finder of an estray may be charged with “Theft of Livestock” if he or she disposed of the estray outside of the estray procedure (Section 142 of the Texas Agriculture Code and Title 4-85.3 of the Oklahoma Animal Code).

Please assist the sheriff by providing the location, number and description of the estray livestock.

Clarifying laws and removing myths in Burnet county. Burnet county is closed range or fence in county.

It means that at some point the entire county or a precinct, or designated area within the county, held a local stock option election and has adopted a stock law. Stock laws can vary in language. Some laws include specific species to which the stock law applies. Usually the stock law (closed range) means you are responsible for fencing in your livestock.

Some counties have enacted stock laws for part of the county, but not the whole county. Therefore, some other counties are partially open range. Some counties are closed range as to some types of livestock, but open range as to others.

In Burnet county you can be cited for violations of the county ordnance. The compele ordance can be found on the county clerk’s website.
