Gelding allows the castration of [[Gender|male]] animals so they cannot [[Breeding|produce offspring]]. This is useful to stop/prevent [[catsplosion]]s as the tomcats can no longer breed.

| − | + | A geld animal job will then be added to a [[farmer's workshop]]. A gelder will take this job and lead the animal to the workshop, at which point it is instantly castrated. A castrated male's gender will appear as {{DFtext|x{{char|11}}x}} rather than the usual {{DFtext|{{char|11}}}}. | |
| − | + | Note that a Geld Animal job will be added to *every* available farmer's workshop if the number of animals scheduled to be gelded equals or exceeds those jobs, regardless of the number of dwarves in your fort who have the labor enabled. This leads to your farmer's workshops sitting idle, waiting for an animal to be led in and gelded, heedless of any other jobs that are now sitting idle queued behind a job that won't be happening any time soon. The Geld Animal labor cannot be restricted through a workshop's profile; the only workaround is to suspend a Geld Animal in *every* Farmer's Workshop you don't want animals being gelded in. Although the jobs will remain in the queue, with them suspended, the next-highest job will become active. | |
