I don't think that would hold up too well but I have 2 good friends that are District Attorneys and I could ask them. I know in our county, if your animal gets out on the road they charge you like $75 an animal. A buddy of mine had 2 of his horses get out and he had to pay it. They're staying at my place until he gets a new fence up.
I hope that never comes to any of the counties we run cows in. I dont know if its the same thing but as escaping, but twice a year we drive ~100 cow calf pairs and 3 bulls down a county road and drive them to the lot a half mile down the road. We've been doing that for years and years.
