city county state regulators generally don't enforce deed restrictions.its up to the community were the restrictions are placed.. if its just one parcel with the restrictions.. you as declarant would have the right to defend thembut no one else if they are not subject to the same deed restrictions.it goes both ways.you look at CCRs from the turn of the century up until about the 50s  and there are all sorts of un enforceable things.having to do with Race religion  Chickens Pigs other live stock.. 

The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

Are they just turning livestock out into the pasture?

I just can't do the stairs anymore.Financially, I know we'd benefit from moving to a smaller house with less acreage, but since I married a man 8 yrs my junior who loves raising livestock, and since I love where we live, we've decided to supplement our social security disability with REI instead so we can earn the money needed to upgrade/remodel our house to make it more mobility friendly for the future.But you all gave me a great idea to think about - carve out a niche to target the Baby Boomer market in our area.

I don’t see the livestock as an issue, that would be similar to evicting a tenant, sort of.

Here's what we've thought of doing (not real estate related though): Raising small-medium livestock, farming herbs and veggies, building a grow house to farm year round, growing microgreens (currently testing), raising chickens (currently doing), starting a u-pick farm (currently considering), building the property out for farm/homestead tours (this is coordinated year round by our county)...Obviously none of these are real estate related, but just ways we though to utilize the land.

Pretty standard stuff, no livestock, antennas, signs, tractor trailers, etc.

If farmers are able to protect their houses, barns, equipment and livestock, they will probably lose this years crop, but will come back.

But, my point is that throughout the history of mankind we have never, until now, picked up weights to throw them around and work our muscles, instead you picked up bales of hay to feed your livestock and did hard labor all day.

I also just saw a new site, "Pigger Bockets" about investing in livestock!
