  Yep! OTOH people were way tougher back then. But yeah, human life was cheaper than the livestock. Which kinda makes sense. You don’t know the conditions at your destination, but you’ll need food for the survivors.

  I’d rather end up alone with one cow and one bull than 20 mouths to feed and no way to do it. There’s a term, “terrible algebra”, something like that?
