A cow calf returns 6 meat, 6 chunks, 6 bone, 6 fat, skin and skull. This is 2/3 the value of a full cow, though the fat level is the same. I would expect then that butchering immature animals returns 2/3 the full value of a grown animal. -- [[User:Primax|Primax]] 23:35, 6 October 2008 (EDT) | A cow calf returns 6 meat, 6 chunks, 6 bone, 6 fat, skin and skull.

If they're all 2/3 the size then that may be an explicit decision of ToadyOne, but ultimately meat, bones, etc... returned are a function of the actual creature's bodysize, regardless of the ultimate reason for that bodysize. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 07:18, 13 January 2009 (EST) | ||

Wouldnt it make more sense to redirect this to Butcher's_shop? --Mizipzor 20:29, 4 November 2007 (EST)
Experience/Speed
it takes my dabbling butcher only a splitsecond to butcher a mule - how could he be faster? --Koltom 19:43, 14 February 2008 (EST)
- read carefully: "Higher skill allows them to process corpses only faster." He's getting faster with processing corpses of dead animals, e.g. from a hunt or from some accident. Butchering of an animal is surprisingly fast and independent of skill.
- yeah, i had noticed that later and even made an edit to just that quote, only forgot to remove the above post ;) but thanks --Koltom 07:57, 15 February 2008 (EST)
Butchering immature animals
I was looking to see if there is any benefit to waiting for animals to mature before butchering them... ie does a "cow calf" produce less meat than a cow? does a kitten produce less meat than a cat? (we all know how quick the cat population explodes and there are no wild animals on the Z-levels I have access to!)GarrieIrons 09:15, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
- I noticed the other day that kittens product 2 meat (1 less than adult cats), and I believe also 2 bones. I would guess that in general you get 1/2 of what you would get from the adult, rounded up. That's a complete guess though, so some actual research might be in order. --Raumkraut 19:10, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Butchering Goblins
Goblins are BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD. The page says this means they MUST be tamed and then marked to be slaughtered. Does this mean I can't butcher the bodies? You should be able to butcher just about anything... --Xonara 04:04, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
- Correct. You can still get their bones by putting their bodies in a refuse stockpile and waiting for them to decompose (you'll get the bones anywhere inside, but the refuse area will hopefully not make a problem with miasma). I guess dwarves don't like to feast on the bodies of their enemies. --RomeoFalling 04:28, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
Empty Heads?
I was watching my butcher slog her way through the dismembered carcasses of a barrel of rhesus macaques when I noticed something odd. Because my traps are filled with obsidian swords, the monkeys were in many pieces. Like heads. When she butchered a head, I was expecting a skull to come out, but instead it was one bone and one meat. Bug? Is the head a feature of the body for some reason? --Oddrune 02:43, 13 January 2009 (EST)
