It's more of a guideline. You might need even less in DF2014 due to a fix relating to grazing AI.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Don't pay attention to that list.

It overstates pasture requirements for .34.11 by factor two to three, and is completely outdated for 0.40.

A simple 10x10 is usually plenty for all the grazers you'll have in the first few years. If they start showing brown hunger arrows, just make a new 10x10 and split them up. Per-creature optimisation just isn't worth it with the new reduced needs.

Especially as it should make a difference if there is dense grass or whatever.

Split the critters up by:

-Who is just waiting to be butchered
-Who will be butchered upon adulthood
-Who is young and will be used for milk/wool/etc
-Who is old and should get butchered before they die of age.
-Breeding stocks.
