Firefoot: I've lived in the countryside sometime during my childhood. You don't basically need to tie pigs or chicken anywhere (and how would you do that?). They stay where they know their next meal is coming. It's also almost as true with the cows even if they might be a bit more persuaded to go and see whether there is something interesting behind the next corner...

The more important thing with the livestock is that you need to guard them from outside: foxes, wolves... and there a rope isn't the best tool.

So I think we might concentrate on tying the horses and to shielding the livestock from predators.

What say you?
