You can often keep cattle out of areas with fairly minimal fencing that wouldn't work to keep them in. Even string strung with flashy reflective stuff like aluminum pie pans, old CDs and mylar streamers will keep them out of an area, unless the area has something they really want or need, like a cow in heat, good food, or water. My neighbors growing up used to use this method to keep their cattle temporarily out of a small part of a pasture they wanted to recover from overgrazing. It works better during the day, or moonlit or windy nights. The stuff flapping and twirling around spooks the livestock and they go elsewhere. I know that isn't a long term solution, but it might work until this guy is caught.
