Different twist on the same situation- I bought 70 acres from an old guy who had owned 150, and he kept the 80 adjacent.

Yep, I said, and everything is working out just fine. He gave me a little smile, and said, "I guess they miss having my cattle around- but what I said still stands."
I miss the days when neighbors could work things out.
