open range liability

[RAAllen]

NM
In NM open range, is the livestock owner liable for damage done to a neighbors property?

do you mean damage caused by your animals?

If your animals go onto a neighbors property and do damage then yes. If they are hit by a neighbors vehicle then no. Open range allows you to graze your animals, you are still responsible for them.
