The chart below is the average price and amount of meat that can be harvested on average. ====Butchering==== On average 35-40% of the overall weight of an animal will be edible, boneless, meat. This varies greatly as some animals (like rams) can have 5-10% of their entire body weight as horns or other non-edible material. Butchering an animal in optimal conditions takes 1 hour per 10 lbs of meat being harvested. This means butchering a full grown cow can easily take 3 days of work. Generally when hunting an animal is not fully butchered, but merely field dressed and carried to another location to process later. If an animal is butchered outside of optimal conditions a lot of meat is wasted. Butchering an animal in the wild yields half as much total meat. You can also choose to spend one minute for 1 lbs of meat but consumes 10 lbs from the total amount available as you take the most accessible cuts and waste much more.\\ ===chart 1-1=== ^ Animal ^ Silver ^ Meat, lbs. ^ | Bee, Hive | 25 | * | | Bull | 150 | 300 lbs | | Chicken, Hen | 1 | 2 lbs* | | Chicken, Rooster | 2 | 3 lbs | | Cow | 120 | 240 lbs | | Cow, Dairy | 150 | 240 lbs* | | Dog, Common | 5 | 10 lbs | | Dog, Guard | 25 | 25 lbs | | Dog, Hunting | 20 | 20 lbs | | Dog, Lap | 5 | 1 lbs | | Falcon | 50 | - | | Horse, Light | 150 | 150 lbs | | Horse, War | 250 | 200 lbs | | Horse, Work | 200 | 150 lbs | | Ox | 180 | 350 lbs | | Pig | 100 | 200 lbs | | Sheep, Ewe | 20 | 40 lbs | | Sheep, Ram | 30 | 60 lbs | * See desciption ==== Descriptions ==== ===Bee, Hive=== Silver: 25\\ A colony of bees kept in a hive, prized for honey and beeswax production. A well-fed bee hive can produce 1 pound of honey a week or 1 pound of wax instead, depending on what is harvested. ===Bull=== Silver: 150\\ A strong male bovine used primarily for breeding or draft work. ===Chicken, Hen=== Silver: 5\\ A female chicken commonly raised for laying eggs and sometimes meat. A well-fed Hen produces 1 egg per day (they consume only 1/4 the amount of food a medium creature requires and are omnivarious, eating grain, bugs and anything else they can access. Given 12 hours of free-range a chicken can often feed itself.). Under stressful enviroments like traveling or similar cases egg production is halved. Eight eggs can be treated as a pound of meat for food purposes. ===Chicken, Rooster=== Silver: 10\\ A male chicken known for crowing and guarding hens within a flock. ===Cow=== Silver: 120\\ A standard female bovine raised for meat and leather. ===Cow, Dairy=== Silver: 150\\ A milk-producing breed of cow valued for its consistent dairy yield. A well-fed dairy cow can produce 1 gallon of milk per day for every 20 lbs of hay, grain, silage or grass consumed (up to a maximum of 120 lbs per day). ===Dog, Common=== Silver: 5\\ A typical domesticated dog, serving as a pet or basic utility animal. ===Dog, Guard=== Silver: 25\\ Trained to protect homes, livestock, or people; known for loyalty and vigilance. ===Dog, Hunting=== Silver: 20\\ Bred and trained to aid in tracking and retrieving game during hunts. ===Dog, Lap=== Silver: 5\\ A small, affectionate dog kept primarily for companionship and comfort. ===Falcon=== Silver: 50\\ A trained bird of prey used in falconry, highly skilled at hunting small animals. ===Horse, Light=== Silver: 75\\ A swift and agile horse ideal for riding, travel, and light cavalry roles. ===Horse, War=== Silver: 150\\ A powerful and trained steed bred for use in battle, able to endure combat conditions.

An Ewe produces 1 pound of wool per week, which can be treated as a crafting part. ===Sheep, Ram=== Silver: 30\\ A male sheep used for breeding; sometimes more aggressive than ewes. A Ram produces 1 pound of wool every 2 weeks, which can be treated as a crafting part. Additionally when slaughtered or slain a Ram's horns can have value. Generally at least 1 crafting parts worth of horn (Often these horns can provide more then just 1 crafting part, if large enough.) ===Donkey=== Silver: 50\\ A hardy and sure-footed pack animal, capable of carrying loads over long distances. Donkey's can travel up to 12 hours again with a medium load without being well-fed and consume water equal to a creature one size category smaller. ===Mule=== Silver: 50\\ A cross between a horse and a donkey, known for its strength and endurance in transport and labor.
