Ok if you seen me weirded out and upset and all.. First ill say, welcome to my pain. Now ill say, take a deep breath.
Past cows what is the wonder meat... if you take a moment to look. Yes chicken, and thay are gues what, easier to keep and raise now food wise. I give a long list of what a chicken do for you, but you likely can find that very easily.
This change shifts the game in a way that does make sense, unpaid players should at the top raise chickens (rabbits and rats if they could be as well), as a main meat sorce. Now you paying players, well you get the cats meow, so it costs a bit more, adjust. You have the time limit needed to support your key livr stock, now it means its just that much more worth it to you. There is now way I can tame and maby even feed a bull in 7 hours a week, yet now I can run two chicken coops a week and not waste a much grain.
Think of it, its a new balance, one that means you hand are lovely devs the cahs they need. Your cows will eb fat and plump as they should be.
