Obviously yes, so that when the forgotten beast busts into the ranch lands it's in for a hell of a suprise from all your selectively bred ninchickens.

I don't know if it's true, but the hilarious experiment report on How to Bacon like a pro claims that butchering yields more meat for muscular creatures.
One day I happened to come across the idea of using the undead to preserve corpses, and by extension, preserving bacon for a Dwarf vault.
Oh my what am I reading lol
I think it's just as useful/advantageous as with Dwarves. Those types of traits determine how much abuse that entity can take, or determines behavioral patterns, etc.
I need to experiment more with animals!
I thought that, but then I started thinking about instances where you might not want powerful livestock - gelding and overcrowded pastures come to mind. I'm wondering if a durable but weak pig might be preferable to one with high strength...I might have to run an experiment of my own.

My brother, if you are looking for good livestock, let me tell you a great and wonderful secret:
- Grizzly Bears
- Train for War
- Slaughter for Meat
- Every Soldier Gets Two as Pets
- Build a Big "Bears Room" for them
- Fin
Having done this operation in my most recent fortress, I can confidently tell you that any other livestock operation is a pure waste of time. Be careful of traffic jams (hence the bears room) and single stuck bears holding up your whole military expedition until they can get themselves underway. Other than that, it's pure magic.
