Free-range livestock at New Albion includes
cattle, pigs, sheep, ducks, and chickens.
00:45
They're used for very many food products, as
00:48
well as leather, wool, down, and
other non-food applications.
00:54
Farm animals at New Albion are not entirely
free range - they're
00:59
kept in enclosures in farming compartments.
01:04
To contribute to biosphere quality,
01:07
farm enclosures are constructed with
banks, dry-stone walls, and laid hedges.
01:15
Herds of cows and sheep are
very small in number by
01:19
Earth standards, but then
so is a New Albion pasture.
01:24
Grazing animals are regularly
01:26
driven - walked - from one pasture
to another by farm workers.
01:32
The new pastures are sometimes many
compartments away, resulting in
01:37
herds sometimes being driven through
distinctly non-agricultural compartments.
