I had a water buffalo starve to death for some reason, despite it being in a pasture with plenty of grass (that it appeared to be eating).  With a grazer value of sixty, it should easily be able to feed itself, no?  Any idea what might have gone wrong?

:I had a massive pasture (max size, but theres a couple of farm plots in it) assigned to about 50 animals, out of these maybe 3-4 were Water Buffaloes. After a while , I saw that many animals were hungry and transferred the water buffaloes to another pasture. Then the remaining 45+ animals all became satisfied (and this includes horses, donkeys, llamas, alpacas, cows, reindeer, mules, sheep and pigs). On the other hand a couple of water buffaloes, despite having a dedicated, untouched pasture to themselves, starved. The ones that survive are permanently hungry. I think this is the way they are built. --[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 04:38, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Grazing values are counter-intuitive. The number represents how many "ticks" of time passes before an animal grazes. The smaller the number, the more it eats in any given span of time. Water buffalo are extremely hard to keep well-fed, even in huge pastures. You're much better off with many smaller grazers, both in milk production and meat production compared to grass intake(you'll also be able to shear many other types.) And if you're lucky enough to acquire pigs, they don't graze at all. --[[User:Struck Down|Struck Down]] 13:05, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
