I've been down that path myself.

Each municipality can have it's own rules, and typically if they don't spell it out, they refer to state code which is incredibly vague.

Municipal rules don’t have much to do with interpretation of a deed restriction.

If simply "livestock" is referenced, then I bet it does. Because the definition of "livestock" in Maine is not at all clear. That's what I'm getting at. Each municipality defines it differently.

The town’s definition of livestock is kinda irrelevant to this.

Funny, I was gonna tack on "ain't you a damn lawyer?"

But isn't the deed registered with the town?

Not “registered” but rather filed at the County registry of deeds for “notice” purposes.
