Skip to 30 min mark.

BBC called the pilot and asked him to get the plane off their property ASAP.

Dan Gryder was sent a cease and desist letter by the Mayor.

Dan is coming to BCS next week to speak with media.

EDIT: in case the Youtube video gets taken down, here is the letter from the video:



EDIT 2: "new" video replaces the one that was taken down last week with the original interview, as well as some follow up.

In that video there is a screenshot of the letter from the mayor's attorney, in that letter it confirms that the mayor is actually leasing that land. How on earth can the city/BBC think this is a good idea at all?

I didn't realize how long that plane has been out there. Is sitting out in the weather for that long good for the plane??

The neighbors in the area of the plane / cattle know all too well of the longhorns, as they have repeatedly broken through fences, wandering through adjacent property (Piper Lane and Drummer Circle area), including onto Jones road, and onto open property next to FM60.

Twice I have witness Brazos County SO being needed, to keep the cattle from FM60. This negligence on the part of the owner is apparently negated by the cattle owner, due to the claim Brazos county is a "fence out" county, meaning it's the adjacent landowners responsibility to keep his cattle out of their property .....but that BS (no pun intended) is being a lousy neighbor, and does not compute, when they breakout onto public land/roads.

Wow. Just wow. Unbelievably bad bull. The allegations by Dan Gryder are quite serious, and all signs point to it being true. The actions of Bryan's Mayor and any city associates involved should be investigated by the Texas Rangers. What other financially motivated corruption is occurring at the top?

Landowners are making things difficult on themselves. Those cattle are estray.

There is no "fence out county" when it comes to public roads. If cattle are on public roads, it's the owner's fault.

You call the sheriff when neighbor's cattle on your property. Sheriff can call the owner who doesn't take care of his animals. If they don't pick them up in few days, they are sold at auction. If they do pick them up, they have to pay for upkeep to county and damage to neighbor. Odds are, his calves aren't branded. That means they are being sold at auction.

After a few cattle get sold and county pockets the money, the neighbor might start taking care of his business. But it's going to cost him about $50 to $200 every time he picks up his wandering cattle from county.

I imagine this county is suburban enough that it doesn't deal with estrays often. In rural counties, the sheriff typically says, "just haul them to the sale barn and show us the receipt".

It's hard to think that this sort of behavior isn't actually their norm, they just happened to get caught this time.

9 times out of 10, it is the norm.

Outstanding! This is a win for aviation. It's also a win for free speech. The story continued despite the censorship on this board.

Let's keep pressing our public officials for the full truth!

It would be beneficial info, to know how many calls to Brazos County SO have been in regards to this particular herd...and the manpower needed in response.

If the plane took off from ABIA, I wonder if the owner is from Austin? If so, the media there might pick and run with the story.

The original video indicated the owner was from Louisiana.

Listen to the police scanner on a regular basis and you will hear call for loose cattle and horses more often than you would expect.

The Bryan Business Council (BBC) is a non-profit, created by the City of Bryan. (I believe this is a correct statement)

Here is where I am a little confused.

Because the BBC is a non-profit, it is not subject to the same type of open records and transparency rules a city in Texas must follow --- even though it was created by the city.

Am I understanding this correctly? What is really troubling; is that the more light that gets shines on the issue the worse it looks.

Along with the terms of the lease - I would like to find out if and when the the lease for the cattle was last paid to the BBC and for how much. I have a strong suspicion that the lease for the land has not been paid (as of last week) and may possibly only get paid before the YouTube guy fly's out here.

How do we get that information?

More bovine intrigue... the guy working the field when the plane landed was named Zachary Huff

A man claiming to be Zach Huff was then arrested for stealing cows a few weeks later

Watch the video in the OP starting at the 30:00 mark. The YouTube guy says he is coming back to town soon to be interviewed by "a couple of news stations".

So yeah, stock up on the popcorn.

And the real Zach Huff died 6 years ago.
