13-505. Livestock on unfenced highway.

USE NOTE
The statute upon which this instruction is predicated (Section 66-7-363C NMSA 1978) was passed by the legislature with an emergency clause, in order to overrule the opinion of the New Mexico Supreme Court in the case of Grubb v. Wolfe, 75 N.M. 601, 408 P.2d 756 (1965).
The UJI definition for negligence (UJI 13-1601 NMRA) would need to be used with this instruction.
