Pastures are used to produce livestock. Livestock can be spread between pastures to increase their numbers and productivity. Livestock may include[1]:
- Cattle -- Used to produce Leather, and Beef as a source of food.
- Sheep -- Used to produce Wool, and Mutton as a source of food.
- Chickens -- Used to produce both Chicken and Eggs as a source of food.
Note that the only way to initially obtain livestock is through trading at the Trading Post. Beware that custom orders of goods tend to be more expensive than regular goods brought by the trader.
The pasture limits are 20 tiles per cow, 16 per sheep and 6 per chicken.
If you want 14 sheep then you need 224 tiles (14 sheep * 16 tiles/sheep) [2]
It should also be noted that pastures can become infested, during which your livestock will be slowly killed until the pasture is emptied. If a pasture becomes infested, it is recommended you build a small pasture to house some backup livestock. Once your main pasture is emptied, the infestation dissapears.
Efficiency
You'll see the best efficiency of the pens in the table bellow. Note that the optimal size of the pens for cattles and sheep are the biggest possible pens with 2 herdsman. The 10x20 pen is the least efficient because you can only hold 1 more cattle than the biggest pen for 1 herdsman. The table below shows the best and worst possible grids per herdsman composition.
| Squares | Grid | Herdsman | Cattles | Sheep | Chickens | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49 | 7x7 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 8 | |
| 180 | 9x20/10x18/12x15 | 1 | 9 | 11 | 30 | Biggest pen for cattle |
| 192 | 12x16 | 1 | 9 | 12 | 32 | Biggest pen for sheep |
| 198 | 11x18 | 1 | 9 | 12 | 33 | Biggest pen for chickens |
| 200 | 10x20 | 2 | 10 | 12 | 33 | |
| 400 | 20x20 | 2 | 20 | 25 | 66 | Best ratio for cattle/sheep |
