This article addresses the interplay of two old Missouri property law doctrines:  The doctrine of adverse possession and the doctrine of boundary by acquiescence.

Most spring calving herds are preparing to wean this year’s calf crop in the coming weeks. At this time, select groups of heifers will enter into a management stage designed to turn them into productive replacement cows. This stage of production represents significant economic investment to the producer, and how well a group of heifers is managed can significantly influence their productivity and profitability in future years.

I feel like I’ve gone a million miles since my last column. Truth be told, I haven’t gone anywhere, I’ve just been “busy.” I just love that word. Busy. We’re all so busy. August was over before I even knew it, and where did September go? My garden was mildly neglected this year and my level of helping at the farm was diminished to about zero.
