lness. The call was cancelled en

Murphy's Law, that anything that can happen usually does,
seems to be an intrinsic part of a ranch operation. In the process
of getting some 150 cow/calf pairs back to home ground, there's
the usual complications. Just a few minor head-banging details
like flat tires, a horse throwing a shoe, missing cattle dogs, trailer
brakes locking up and even a spare trailer tire that took off on
its ow n for a roll down a hill.
Once the cattle were gathered, the progress w as impeded by
a continuous stream of traffic in both directions as we drove them
three miles on a busy highway to where they could be loaded.
In the process, a lady driver with a Connecticut license plate
almost had a heart attack w hen she approached our mass of mov­
ing bovines blocking her travels. Once back home, she'll pro­
bably tell her friends how the cattle out west stampeded her car.
Those scrapes and bruises incurred from thornbrush thickets
and shale rock hillsides are marks o f bravery when gathering
livestock. Yet the die-hards in the cattle industry seem determined
to keep food on the table.
But the public's understanding of the impact of Measure 38
to Oregon's economy, if passed, seems vague. Oregon taxpayers
will have to foot the expense of fencing, at $5,000 per mile, for
all waterw ays on federal and state lands that are judged as w ater
quality limited. Likewise, private landowners would have to bear
that expense. But the determination by DEQ for water quality
listing refers not solely to pollution, but for w ater temperatures
exceeding 50 degrees on any seven consecutive days. O ver 77
organizations are backing this measure to prevent all livestock
from accessing waterways and riparian areas.
Most ranching headquarters are located near water. The
riparian areas of 100 feet on each side of a stream would become
off-limits under this law. Therefore many livestock holding
facilities and pastures would be unusable. Property values could
drop to a destructive level. Property owners could not afford to
pay taxes on unusable land.
Many Oregon ranchers would be forced out of business.
Oregon's cattle numbers have remained relatively stable at about
1,000,000 for a number of years, while Oregon's human popula­
tion has tripled. Livestock add dollars to Oregon's agri-businesses
and noticeably help to balance the overseas trade deficit.
Measure 38 contains a provision that allows anyone, even
someone not directly affected, to file suit against a landowner
for an alleged violation involving any domestic animal including
horses, poultry or other species. A landow ner could be liable for
all court costs and the plaintiff's attorney fees. It would also create
a backlog of court cases in an already overburdened legal system.
