Hope you were able to afford a few animals such as some goats, pigs, ducks,
cows, and geese. Animals were one of the most important things about farming.
Animals helped you with jobs like trampling in the seeds, pulling your plow,
eating unwanted grain or wheat and providing you with food and drink. But having
these animals may have caused misfortune like if your donkey nibbled on someone
else's crops the farmer could threaten to take you to court. Also if your animals
were sick you had to do all the work that they did. If your animals were not
marked they may have been stolen. Along with misfortunes came care. You had
to take great care of your animals. You had to give them food, drink and you
had to count your cattle. The herdsman drove the cattle past the overseer who
counted them and wrote down the size of each cattle.
