I bet if you go out there and try to get them moving they will take you to where they escaped. Just don't hurry them, let them go the direction they choose.
All bets are off if they have been out longer than a day.

I am sure that if stray dogs ran cattle you owned away, you would have no problem with someone keeping one or more for a finders fee.
Ours got out of summer pasture one night before a big rain storm that wiped out their tracks. We had the radio post notices, notified the stockyards and Dad hired a plane to search for them.
Finally found them INSIDE a neighbor's barn 3 days later. He had locked them up the first morning that they were missing. Neighbor didn't have any cattle so had no feed for them, nor water!
I think that he was planning to take them somewhere and sell them, but another neighbor heard cattle making a racket, knew that he didn't have any cattle and told my Dad where to look. Needles to say, there were angry words said and Dad didn't offer him any compensation.
It turned out that he sold out a few months later and left the country.

tractorguy,
I'm sure that someone will be out looking for them and advertising their loss. I've had a few stray over the years and the folks who have found them have been very understanding of the situation.
You don't happen to live in Southern Middle Tennessee do you? Some guy down the road from me had about 25 head rustled a couple of weeks ago. No word yet on where they ended up.

I live in nebraska. There is 14 acre field in my backyard. I now have rented to the neighbor to the south.
The cows are gone now. I'm guessing they came from the east. neighbor to the east, several years back hooked the fence and tore out about 60ft. he never fixed it.He is now 80+ in a wheel chair. Haven't seen him in years.

When stray cattle come my say I don't even think about rewards. I try to get them corralled, then find the owner. Trouble we have around here is there are no fences or yards to hold cattle.
Some dogs ran pasture cattle through a fence nine miles west of me one night and the cattle came past my place the next morning. I followed them two and a half more miles down the road where they went into standing corn. Another neighbor came along and we got them out of the corn field and into a nearby neighbor's empty cattle lot. After they were corralled I followed the tracks back to the owner's place and told the owner about it and where the cattle were. He hitched up his trailer and came and picked them up. After they were loaded the owner didn't give anyone a thank you. He just got in the pickup and left with the rest of us standing there staring at each other. All we got out of it was a lot of exercise running through a corn field.
Few years ago I saw cows in my young corn field, went to round up my cows......
But, I had all mine in my fence? Looked a little harder, and those weren't mine in the corn field.....
Called the neighbor, wife answered, said, oh, I suppose they will be ours. Hey, you want to just keep them and call it even?
She was joking, tho I could hear a hint of truth in her voice.
We had a good laugh as we rounded then up and headed back home.
