All About Livestock

[estherhb]

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;">
To raise livestock, you need a Pasture and a Herdsman. The minimum size for a pasture is 7 by 7 and the maximum size is 30 by 30.



<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;">
 



<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;">
Following is a list of the livestock that are available, showing what each produces. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are from original Banished.  The number of squares needed per animal is given along with the price of one animal at the trading post. This is the regular price - if you order a particular type of livestock from a trader, you will be charged a higher price!
