Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 3, § 2571. Livestock allowed on levees; conditions

A. Horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, or livestock of any description may go on the levees, or the space between the base of the levees and the draining ditch at any time, except where, in the judgment of the levee commissioners of a district and the office of engineering, damage would occur to the levees from exposure to wear, tear, and abuse.

B. In cases where the water is against the levee on both sides, that is, where the grounds on the river and land side are both covered with water, people living in the vicinity may put stock on these levees temporarily.
