Texas Pit BBQ
There are frequent visits to my garden by the neighborhood cows ....
Last night there was a small herd of six .....
My questions:
Do the owners purposfully release their livestock to reduce their feed bill ??
And the important question is: Can I take an animal which is on my property and have a BBQ ?
Just wondering,
CaboRon

Sorry - the answer is no, you can't BBQ ranging cattle.
I researched this after a number of hungry neighborhood cows (make that a starving herd of about 30) reduced my newly-planted benjaminas to twigs. You
CAN fence the garden (in my case 1000 acres, also requiring a cattle gate nicknamed The Destroyer).
If cattle force their way into a reasonably-built fence (according to my lawyer), you may shoot them, but you may not touch (certainly not BBQ) them
and must immediately inform both the owner or your local sub-delegado.
I see a time rapidly approaching where Baja, which has been treated as a community pasture for the last three hundred years, is heading into the
late-stage Wild West where the ranchers did NOT like the farmers fencing off pastureland. My neighbor is about to fence off 16,000 acres . . .

No you cannot shoot cattle in open range areas.
You are responsible for maintaining a reasonable fence to keep them out.
If they do get in then the owner may be liable for your damages but you cannot harm the livestock unless you want to pay for it.

This isn't open range ....
It is private property ....
I like the old west analogy, it does seem to apply ....
So, in other words the Ejido sold off the property , but still has grazing rights ???????????? You can't have your cake and eat it too .... or
maybe in a corrupt land you can ....

Open range practice allows for cattle to graze on your private property unless you fence them out.
I live in an open range area.
"Open range" is an area or zone designation that usually encompasses private lands along with any others in that area or zone.
I believe that these came tenants hold in many areas in Baja.

CaboRon, You'll get slow roasted if you butcher any of those "free range" cattle.
