No drover or herder, or assistant of either, may drive or entice away, without the consent of the owner thereof, any animal from the premises of such owner or from the range or other place usually frequented by such animal, nor may such a person suffer any such animal to be driven or enticed away, or to follow, join, or remain with that person’s herd or flock. In order to prevent any animal belonging to another person from being driven or enticed away or from following, joining, or remaining with such herd, the drover or herder shall deliver such animal without delay to the owner thereof, if known, or if the owner is unknown, to a resident of the neighborhood or to a peace officer of the county, who shall return it to the owner or dispose of it as an estray as provided in this title.
