[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 7461031, member: 3656"] My question is what confers ownership of farm livestock? Example Dairy herd. Partnership, mainly for tax purposes. No written partnership agreement. Anything which has a way of naming the owner (like a tractor, on the V5 doc) is presumably clear cut. A calf born on the farm was not bought. So no invoice exists as proof of purchase. It's mother, and it's mother's mother etc were not purchased either. The tag which it wears declares it only as being technically 'in' a herd, as in resident. The herdkeeper is the guardian, upon whom responsibility falls for compliance with statutory regulations regarding the animal. Does the law assume ownership as a matter of precedent from time immemorial? Residence is not proof of ownership though. When my friend brings his dog to my house, it does not become mine. Paying for keep does not provide proof of ownership. I can feed the birds who visit my garden, yet I am not their owner. How does the law test ownership? [/QUOTE]
