Which animals are specifically allowed as livestock on residential properties?

The choice indicating that only domestic species such as cattle, goats, etc., are specifically allowed as livestock on residential properties is correct because it aligns with regulations governing livestock ownership in many jurisdictions. Typically, residential zoning laws define what constitutes acceptable livestock, and these laws generally focus on domestic animals that are traditionally raised for agricultural purposes.

Domestic species, which include animals like cattle, goats, sheep, and poultry, are often permitted because their care and presence on properties are more manageable and aligned with local health and safety standards. These animals are known to be more compatible with human habitation and have established care practices.

In contrast, cats and dogs, while common household pets, do not classify as livestock in the agricultural sense, and zoning laws may restrict the types of animals that can be kept in residential areas. Exotic animals are usually subject to stricter regulations or outright prohibitions due to concerns about their care, potential danger to public safety, and ecological impacts. The mention of all farm animals regardless of type is too broad and typically does not comply with specific local ordinances that may limit livestock types to those that are domestic and manageable in a residential setting.
