At first I thought this was topsoil building along their fence and I was about to go on a rant about how they think its a good thing they're eroding their soil, but this is arguably worse.
Tumbleweeds are an invasive species, from Russia specifically. A tumbleweed reproduces by shriveling up and tumbling around, dropping up to 200,000 seeds everywhere it goes until it gets stuck against something - the Tranch's fence as you can see here. Tumbleweeds have also evolved specifically to grow in poor soil where no other plant life is capable of living. Gee, that kinda sounds like the Tranch don't it? It's not surprising that these pics are from right after a windstorm because windstorms are exactly the sort of weather that gather hundreds and thousands of tumbleweeds and send them careening towards nearby residences.
Tumbleweeds are also covered in thorns which can harm animals as well as people. It can particularly harm starved alpacas who are being left outside because they don't want to go inside the """barn""".
That probably isn't getting cleaned up. You know how to clean up tumbleweeds? Here's how: you go out with gloves, a pitchfork, a bunch of bags and herbicide. With the gloves and pitchfork you seperate all the tangled up tumbleweeds from each other and place them in the bags so they don't blow everywhere. The herbicide is to (try) to kill all the seeds that have inevitably deposited themselves right up against the fence. Usual disposal method is to break the tumbleweed branches apart and then burn them but I don't know if the Tranch has a county permit to do that.
That, as you can see, is obviously too much effort for them.
Speaking of burning, by the way: tumbleweeds are
extremely flammable. All Earl would need to do is set one of those tumbleweeds on fire with a lighter and the whole Tranch would be smoked out.
Edit: They're actual dumbfucks. (
