Follow it and appeal. It isn't more complex unless you choose to make it.

I see your lips moving. What I don't see is you volunteering to move the cattle to your land and care for them at your expense. What is it you suggest they do? Keep them alive and send him a bill for the expense? IIRC, he already ignored the land use fees so what makes you think that he will pay for the upkeep?

A lot of things appear. It doesn't matter what use they have for it now. Fact is, he didn't pay for 20 years. That they find a more profitable use for it is irrelevant unless your intention is to muddy the waters.

Had the money been put forth by the man, perhaps none of this would come to this point.

How does it get more flagrant than disobeying a court order? I'm not interested in innuendos, suppositions and speculation. He either paid or did not. He either ignored a court order or not.
