In Aliquippa, PA, "grandfathered rights" or "nonconforming uses" might allow you to keep livestock if the regulations changed after you already owned them. However:
- They won't apply if the livestock were illegal when you got them.
- If you discontinue the use (i.e., keeping livestock) for a certain period, you might lose the rights.

Please consult a local attorney for advice tailored to your situation.
If I’ve owned them continuously since before they were illegal, would that right still be maintained?
Yes, as long as the livestock was legal when you owned them and you've maintained that use without interruption, your "grandfathered rights" generally should continue. But local laws can vary, so consult with a local attorney.
Thank you :)
