A Las Vegas woman has sued Cliven Bundy after she crashed into one of his cows on Interstate 15. The cow was killed, and the 40-year-old Beck suffered broken bones and other injuries when her boyrfiend crashed into the livestock and drove over an embankment about 10 miles from Bundy’s ranch in Bunkerville.
Bundy admitted the cow was his, but he said the state is responsible for maintaining the fence that keeps his livestock off the interstate. “It’s a state problem, it’s not our problem,” Bundy said. “We really feel bad when it happens. We sure don’t want it to happen, but we’re not liable.”

Free beef? Isn't that what happens when you hit animals on the road?
I would have had the tow truck come and haul it to the butcher, because hey, if he didn't know it was missing, then that's his problem.
Bundy said he was within his rights to make a claim against Beck for the loss of his livestock.
“The person whose car hit that cow is liable to me,” Bundy said.

Bundy is an unmitigated arse.

Never had one of mine hit in the road, but I do know of others who have.....the owner of the livestock was always liable for damages and injury......At least that's here in Ga.......I do believe it varies from state to state, but from what I could find, most states, even the western ones with 'open range' consider the owner responsible, and have since the 1980's.
Surely there are some other cases that have set a 'precedent' ?
