ideal pasture sizes?

[DrwHem]

what is the largest cattle pasture that 1 herdsman can properly maintain? i thought i built a pretty big pasture but i can only hold 9 cows lol. if i have to use 2 herdsman thats ok i guess but i would like to have about 15 to 20 head of cattle in each pasture.

Then you can go that size, but you will still have to use more then one heardsman. I had one at 21X21 and I had to use 2 or even 3 heardsmen.

Loved that tip on March 13.

How to Evict Granny

Been wondering how to do that forever.

I have no proof of how well it did, but i did an 8x8 with one herder and he did well with it. I figure you can do up to 10x10 with one since 20x20 can do with only two

Better to have full size pastures and staff them, no point running 5 to 10 animals.

I prefer this so I can split or move it very easy when needed.

A pasture of 16 x 10 tiles can hold 10 sheep and need 1 herdsman
A pasture of 18 x 12 tiles can hold 10 cattle and needs 2 herdsman
A pasture of 8 x 17 tiles can hold 22 chicken and need 1 herdsman

The difference is that I live in Australia - we do not bother with poky little farms - the bigger the better - I guess that's why I always go to the max.

I do max size on all pastures and only ever assign 1 worker -- gets 800-1100 beef per season, works great..

the thing i don't like about the efficiency calcs out there -- they don't consider idle time. Harvest time varies from season to season, and max efficiency is consdered to be "the max size 1 worker can handle most seasons" -- well.. I argue you always want to exceed their ability, every season.. otherwise you have idle time, which is loss of efficiency.

It's good for people to know that there is a problem with the links, when I saw your account I didn't think you'd post them like that, the links must have changed since you posted them. Thanks!
