In the game's words

How to use it

These herdable animals can be hunted for Food by gatherers - Coureur des Bois, Cree Coureurs, Settlers, Settler Wagons, and Villagers. Unlike wild animals, these animals can be captured and sent back to your colony. If they are alone traveling back to your colony, another player may stumble across them and steal them away from you. Herdable animals "fatten" over time, so the longer they are alive, the more Food they will provide when your gatherers finally hunt them. They will fatten even faster at a Livestock Pen or Village.

History

Scientific Name: Bos taurus Approx. Size: 5 ft. at the shoulder, 1,200 lb. Diet: Grasses Cattle accompanied Europeans to the Americas. Spanish expeditions often traveled with herds of oxen, cattle, sheep, and pigs in tow. The famous Texas Longhorn was bred from Spanish cattle brought from Santo Domingo, though who brought them is unclear. The original herd is said to have accompanied a viceroy, Gregorio de Villalobos, but other Spanish longhorn cattle drives are attributed to Coronado and even Christopher Columbus. Most of the cattle that lived in the central plains of North America, the herds that sparked range wars and gave birth to cowboys, came from the breeding of these Spanish longhorns and the northern European cattle brought east by other settlers.
