Features
Hire a caretaker, per husbandry
Take out a contract of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
Longer contracts earn a loyalty discount on feed prices (up to -15%).
Contracts count down monthly and warn you when they expire.
Automatic care
Keeps food topped up with your chosen ration.
Tops up straw bedding (where the husbandry supports it).
Empties manure, slurry, and straw-manure to your nearest owned storage.
Pulls feed and straw from your own silos first (free) — only buys the shortfall at market rate.
Refill control
Per-husbandry “Refill At” threshold — 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
A guaranteed monthly refill, plus an early top-up the moment a store drops below your threshold.
Per-husbandry settings
Food Type — pick the ration, restricted to what that animal actually eats.
Straw — toggle bedding on/off (shows N/A for husbandries with no straw).
Contract length and Refill level.
Copy to All — apply your contract length across every husbandry at once.
Two-page dialog
Manage — edit every husbandry’s settings.
Financials — read-only overview: contract countdowns, per-pen costs, and a grand-total row for food, straw, labour and active contracts.
Billing
Food & straw charged once a month unless they drop below your desired threshold.
Labour fee charged once per month.
