Winter stock laws in North Dakota liability clarified
The Grand Forks Herald reports on the winter grazing law and owner liability for damage by stock. The 1901 act largely mirrors 1899, with limited running months. A 1903 Supreme Court ruling in Elg v Rosholt interprets the law, noting stock owners must restrain animals except during winter months when crops are stored and enclosures exist.

It states owners must fence or protect perishables, and that trespass occurs if animals damage neighbor land. If land is uninclosed, owners assume risk of trespass and cannot sue for damages.
