University of Missouri Extension County Engagement Specialist in Agriculture and Environment Jackie Spainhower explains that, in 1963, the Missouri legislature authorized counties to adopt a local option to the general fence law, which could be created by a majority vote of any countys registered voters. She notes there are 19 counties that have the optional law, and the majority are in North Central Missouri.
