Swift said the rancher currently has two workers in Tartesso ensuring no cattle enter the neighborhood and plans to close the entry with a new structure to prevent further breaches. He added the rancher’s crew would be on horseback by mid-September to gather the cattle. Swift also requested additional guidance from the city or the Department of Agriculture, calling it “a very difficult situation to manage.” Neither party released the name of the rancher. Keenan McGuire, who operates the West Valley’s BO-Nine Ranch, believes the conflict stems less from ranchers’ negligence and more from how master-planned communities have expanded into historic range land without adequate safeguards. “‘Range state’ means that if a rancher is in an area and you build a house within that rangeland, then it’s up to you. You’re required to put a fence up. It’s not on the shoulders of the rancher to protect your house from our cattle,” McGuire said. He added that while his family has worked closely with communities like Vistancia and Tartesso to address issues, developers often stopped building perimeter fences and cattle guards as costs rose, leaving gaps that cattle exploit during droughts when food and water are scarce. “It hadn’t been a problem until probably three-and-a-half years ago when the drought hit,” McGuire said. “Cows are going to go where there’s food and water, and if greenbelts and irrigation lines are left unfenced on the edge of subdivisions, that’s where they’ll go. We’ve lost several cattle to highway collisions near Tartesso in the past six months. Luckily, no one was injured, but we can’t patrol 24 hours a day.”

“ The cattle see the opening in the fence line and immediately go toward it, so they can get to the water from our irrigation lines.” MIKE SWIFT, REGIONAL SALES MANAGER, TORTOSA HOA
