I don't think we would have a rash of horse stealing to sell them for slaughter. Cattle are worth a lot more than a horse. They don't have any papers to stop you from selling them if you steal them either. There is very little cattle theft going on. It does happen but it is not wide spread.
It would be a lot easier than stealing a horse anyway. I know of many cattle that are in finishing yards that are not locked or guarded at night. Plus many of the newer setups have to been so far away from any house that the odds of anyone seeing you would be slim. So even with this there are few cattle stolen.
People get crazy when you talk about a pet rather than just a domesticated animal. Just look at all the name calling on this post here.
I now have three horses on this farm. This is the first to be here in over thirty years. I do have an exit plan. If the girls quit taking care of them they will be gone one of several ways. 1) I will try to sell them for a cheap price. 2) If no sale than I will try to give them to some one. 3) If no luck on either of those two options. I have a rifle and a back hoe. I can solve the problem.
I think that is a big part of the problem is too many people that have no plan. They get a horse an treat it like another kid/family member and then find out they can't afford the horse. So now they have no exit plan. Then they want to stick their problem on someone else. While at the same time still want to treat the horse in a special way that makes reasonable disposal just about impossible.
( Dave II I see that you can't take someone jerking your chain much. You are usually level headed but mention a horse and you jump the fence into the crazy side.)

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
