The most common type of animals traded are livestock as well as hounds and some variants of birds. The chart below is the average price and amount of meat that can be harvested on average.

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.
