'DEV confirmed info'

Added by Dtox, from Malard on Discord:

basic mechanics are thus

every "period" cattle consume food and water

every "period" i do a pregnancy routine

that pregnancy checks if they are starving (if they do, it aborts, this was WHY ranches would die randomly until i just fixed it)

if they are not, if there is a bull in the ranch then it calculates how many females are suitable for making babies calfs and recently pregnant are ineligable

then between 0 and max available females give birth

those who gave birth then are marked to give milk for "period"

and the calf starts its timer to grow up
