Cosfriff Brothers v. Miller

Summary

The court held that deliberately driving sheep onto another's uninclosed private lands, with knowledge of the ownership and despite the owner's objections, constitutes actionable trespass even when the surrounding public lands are open range. It also upheld the admission of evidence concerning feeding expenses and post-trespass losses, the availability of exemplary damages for wanton or reckless conduct, and the amount of the verdict. The judgment was affirmed.
