The Village of Weston claims to have an ordinance that overrides Wis. pertaining to fences on agriculture zoned property, stated that the owner of livestock is entirely responsible for enclosing the property with no obligation on behalf of the neighbor. Is this allowed under state statutes?

Be sure to check at your local public library for a copy of the actual ordinance, though, to be sure what it actually says.
