Range Cattle Harrass Colonizers During Early Period of Anaheim’s History; Big Cactus Fence Constructed About Place Dry Weather Period Brings Renewal of Trouble With Range Cattle, Company Discusses Advisability of Hiring Herder But Continues With Cactus Fence Project Range cattle, finding the oasis of Anaheim more attractive than the dry desert-like costal plain from the foothills to the ocean, continued to make considerable trouble for the colonizers who by early 1863 had developed a remarkably efficient agricultural community. During the previous year the Anaheim Water company had voted to construct a cactus fence around the city, and early in 1863 had voted to abandon the work, but with the appearance of cattle on the outskirts of the colony in May, the problem again came to the forefront. Several of the colonizers wanted the cactus fence completed, others objected, and finally a proposal was made to hire a herder to keep out the roving animals. Work evidently went forward on the coctus fence, however, because on July 6, 1863, the inspection committee reported that H. Kroger’s work on it was satisfactory, and payment was ordered.
