Genetics System
– New genetics system

– Current genetics are health, fertility, metabolism, productivity and meat quality
– Genetics impact several different areas of the animal, such as pregnancy and sale value
Weight System
– New weight system
– Every animal has a weight unique to them, and each day they will gravitate to/from their ideal weight (based on their metabolism) due to how much they eat and drink
– Weight affects sale value and health, and can unhealthy weight can result in death especially for young animals
