The canon of construction holds that items similar to those specifically enumerated are covered by general terms following the list. Here, the general term is "other livestock" and the specific items are all four-legged mammals (inter alia). Thus "other livestock" could include donkeys or pigs, unless the list were very narrowly construed to mean only livestock commonly providing milk. "Other livestock" would not, however, include poultry, even though poultry might be considered livestock under other circumstances.
