"You have had enough close encounters with various beasts of the Wild Hearth that the thought of taming some of them has entered your mind. You may snare and keep tamable beasts, as well as construct coops, troughs, and hitching posts."

---

"To tame a wild, tamable, animal:

First, lure it to you with clover. Then snare it with a rope. Then tie it to a hitching post. Then, when soon it stands ready to fight, Defeat it in combat again, and again, But when it yields to you, yield to it, And hurt it no further,

Until its beast has been quelled."

In-Game Text

... To tame a wild, tamable animal:
First, lure it to you with clover.
Then snare it with a rope.
Then tie it to a hitching post.
Then, when soon it stands ready to fight,
Defeat it in combat again, and again,
But when it yields to you, yield to it,
And hurt it no further,
Until the beast has been quelled.

What it does

This skill allows you to tame certain animals and unlocks crafting of several objects and buildings. Tamed animals require a Food Trough or grassland to survive and breed. See Taming for a detailed guide on how to tame an animal.

Animals that can be tamed:

Wild	Domesticated
Boars	Pig
Mouflon	Sheep
Aurochs	Cattle
Wildhorse	Horse
Wildgoat	Goat
Reindeer	Tame Reindeer

Animal Husbandry also allows you to gather certain materials and craft and construct new objects.

Items	Aurochs Hair	Butter	Feather Duster	Gold Egg	Milk	Wool
Structures	Chicken Coop	Churn	Food Trough	Hitching Post

Couple of crafts related to animal products (but not exclusive to domesticated animals) are also unlocked. These include turning meat into Animal Fat and boiling Prepared Animal Hides into Gelatin.

Notes

• (game mechanic) Domesticated/Tamed animals don't seem to move when off-loaded. (Eating and breading do continue.)
• After tethering an untamed animal to a post, you can either store the rope for later use or use the same rope to tether and hitch other animals.

Game Development

• Hat Placement (2022-11-04)◎ >"Implemented the ability to put hats on large domesticated animals: pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses. Milage may vary as the equipment point is not specialized per hat. Mostly for teh lulz. Let us know what else should have hats, because we can have them most anywhere now."
