Today we went out do do a game count. The importance of counting game, is to establish that your game doesn't go missing, this could be because of poaching or broken fences. You also count the new babies, this is basically to determine how many of the same genus of a particular specie you have - to prevent inbreeding. So when the time is right you can either sell some of the game or simply swap them with another farms animals. New blood is very important for towards your animals. It is also to monitor your game so that you can see the progress they make each year.

It has been set up in the order that we saw the animals.
