My dogs got lots of puppies the first years then suddenly stopped. Pigs, alpacas, llamas, sheep still bear offspring. My total lifestock count is 214 - is there a limit? It is just a hunch but it feels like there is a limit to "pregnancies"? If some animals die in an attack or get butchered it feels like baby animals pop up just after - never puppies though so far. Or is it because all are trained as war dogs now? They are all assigned to pastures. I have about 45, so I am not complaining, yet. --Old Ancient 02:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

There is a limit to the number of animals per species (to keep catsplosions in check) around 50. --MathFox 12:33, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
The exact limit is 50 units total or 3 children per adult, and it prevents pregnancies rather than births. This limit has been in the game for over 5 years - it was present in 23a, and it's still present in the current version. --Quietust 13:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I think we need an animal page that covers this kind of info - we don't have one? --Old Ancient (talk) 08:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
This information is included under Breeding, which is linked in the info template on the right of breeding creatures' pages. --Loci (talk) 20:57, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
