Place of production: Hacienda Among the Americans, the trapper is responsible for the hunt. Place of production: Trapper's cabin Among the outlaws, it is the hunter who supplies the meat. Place of production: Hunting cabin Select the hunting unit for your people and then right-click the animal to be hunted. After the animal has been killed, the hunter automatically brings it to an animal-processing structure (butcher's shop or slaughterhouse) or to your main building. A hunter keeps on hunting until he either cannot find any more wild animals or you assign him another task. Cattle From time to time, you will run into wild cattle on the map. The Americans and Mexicans can also raise cattle on their ranches and haciendas. Cows stand about seemingly indifferent to what is going on around them, just staring and eating grass. While the cows are grazing in peace, their market value increases. To raise a cow, select your ranch or hacienda and then click the Raise cow button. Click a cow to view its value in gold on the status menu. The value of a young cow starts at 0 units of gold. The longer it lives on the prairie, the more 29 America valuable it becomes. You are paid in gold when you send the fattened animals to the animal-processing structure. You can manipulate a cow that you raised yourself just like any other of your units.
