What the law says
“It is hereby declared unlawful for any person to water livestock at any watering trough or tanks belonging to any private owner without the consent of such owner,”
“but this section shall not apply to livestock in transportation on railroads nor to livestock delivered into any stockyards nor to livestock in holding pens awaiting slaughter.”

In plain English
Our reading
Watering livestock at a trough or tank that belongs to a private owner needs that owner's consent in Nebraska. Livestock being shipped by rail, delivered to stockyards or held in pens before slaughter are outside the rule.
