Makes
Livestock
- Herd Cattle
- Makes meat, milk, hides, manure
- Farm types Meat farm / Milk farm / Breeding / Draft oxen
- Barn cattle barn (the pasture is dragged from it)
Notes
Retired by the redesign: the barn + dragged pasture with visible herds replaces it (no animals, generic food today).
Cull rules
| Keep all | no slaughter: the herd grows to the pasture's limit |
| Cull above capacity | every head born above the limit goes to the butcher, oldest first |
| Keep half | slaughter down to half the limit: most meat now, the herd regrows |
| Cull old | only animals past their prime |
| Cull all | empty the barn (to switch breed or farm type) |
