How to slaughter a specific animal
« on: October 09, 2010, 12:07:26 am »
I'm breeding cows and so I only want to keep the most muscular and fattest Bulls I can get my hands on. The problem is I'm now up to 5 bulls (and 2 Bull calves) and I have no idea how to slaughter only the weak ones.

The only way I know of to flag an animal for slaughter is from z->Animals, but from that screen, there's absolutely no way to tell which bull is which.. I don't want to kill my prized bull on accident.

Is there any easy way to be able to see the description of the animal before slaughtering it, so I can make sure I'm killing the right ones?

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.
