Is there a reason why you are representing all yields as ranges from 0 to the maximum? Most (if not all) other pages are assuming that the animal being butchered is a fully grown adult. Also, unusable components (cartilage, hair, and nervous tissue) should not be included, since the Creature template doesn't look for them. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:51, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Butchering yields[edit]

Is there a reason why you are representing all yields as ranges from 0 to the maximum? Most (if not all) other pages are assuming that the animal being butchered is a fully grown adult. Also, unusable components (cartilage, hair, and nervous tissue) should not be included, since the Creature template doesn't look for them. --Quietust 17:51, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
