Cattle

Description

Cattle

Cattle are among the more expensive types of livestock to purchase, but the annual revenue from meat and dairy products justify this.

Requirements

In order to buy cattle, the player must own at least one well and one barn.

Selling Cattle

As with all other livestock, cattle can be sold again from the sell menu.

Relevant Events

The Cattle Disease event will cause the player to lose all cattle.

The Angry Mob and Refugees events will cause a player to lose all cattle, as well as all other types of livestock. The Guerillas event will too, if the player hasn’t completed the Representative project. In that case, no livestock is lost.

The Civil War event causes the player to lose approximately 75% of his livestock.
