• Animal properties: Fixed from birth to death.
• Satiety meter displays: 1) Average quality of stored food. 2) Level of stored food (0..100). 3) Normal vs sharted status.
• Welfedness meter display: Only shown as graphic-bar without any specific value. (might be client depending)

• Star status: The only sharted animal indication seems to be bound to the satiety level meter.
  • It take only one sharted food unit to turn an animal from normal to sharted.
  • Completely draining an animals food storage did not get rid of the sharted state. (from memory, only tested ones.)

• Immature animals:
  • Don't feed from troughs. (more or less fact, although not verified by me)
  • Animals when born are fully fed(more or less fact). With there initial consumed food quality set to ("Animal-Q(float)" * "Milk-Q%(float)").
  • Will feed from barrel with related animal-type milk. If no other lactating female is in range(assumption).
    • Multiple female sources: So far it seems to be the any lactating female with milk. Assuming range related.
    • Range ??? (might be same as food trough.)

• Mature animals:
  • Don't feed from barrels with related animal milk. (pretty much sure.)
  • Feed from barrel with swill ? (probably not. Makes no real sense either if they did.)
  • Feeds from trough if available. Else will look for some grass terrain (defaults to q10).
    • Without food, on any claim, will go dormant.
    • Without food, outside any claim, will eventually die (assumed).

• Consumed food quality vs animal output:
  • The consumed food quality, over time(period or other specifics unknown), is updated based on the new food quality consumed by the animal. This start from birth.
  • The consumed food quality and level seems to act as some hard/soft cap on the quality outputs of the animal. (in general)
    • The Welfedness level might also play a role here. (unsure. probably not. check later)
  • (... If the consumed food quality has any effect on the breeding outcome. It makes sense (depending on ones target) to wait with new bulls to be used for breeding until there food-q is above some point. Would also figuring out breeding outcome results more tricky.)

• Amount output: Generally unclear.
  • Milk max all animal can hold is 25 liters. So it makes sense the amount value would be related how fast milk is produced(per unit), or how much milk is produced at every milk update.
  • Same for wool probably. Think max is 5 units.
    • Sheep with lowest wool amount value being the only one that still had no wool to shear seems to support its this. (time related refill rate.)

What else ... Hmm, scan forum for general guide posts.
