When livestock is given to someone else’s farmer, it must be notified to the owner from whom that farmer derives; otherwise he may seize it and have it sold for what his farmer owes him.
The lessee may not mow without notifying the lessor.

Any agreement to the contrary is null and void, unless the lessor is the owner of the tenant farm of which the lessee is a farmer or sharecropper.
All other single herd rules apply to the half herd.
This livestock (also called iron livestock) is that by which the owner of a rural holding gives it on farm with the proviso that on expiry of the lease, the farmer will leave the same stock as that which he has received.
