Jim has a good reputation as a rancher and maintains good fences. During a storm one night a tree fell across his fence and one of his cows wandered out into the road and was hit by a car. The driver was not injured, but the cow died and there was considerable damage to the car. Who was responsible for the car repair and the cost of the cow?
