You must take one Begging card for each missing Food; you may not remove family members to avoid feeding, and each Begging card costs -3 points at game end (page 4).

Newborn offspring born during the current round consume only 1 Food at that Harvest, and will require the normal 2 Food in subsequent Harvests (page 4).

No — unprocessed animals have no Food value; animals can only be converted to Food using an Improvement or Occupation that provides an animal-to-food conversion (these conversions may be used at the indicated times; see pages 4 and 10).

Animals breed if you have at least two of the same type, but a baby animal must be accommodated in your farmyard or on an appropriate Improvement card or it runs away — you get no extra animal if there is no room (page 4).

Yes — the ability to Fence pastures becomes available after performing the Renovation action (the Stage 2 Renovation and the final Renovation allow fencing); fences cost 1 Wood each and must form fully enclosed pastures (pages 5, 10 and 6).

You play Occupation cards only when you take an Occupation action (the action spaces specify the Food cost: e.g. in a 3-player Occupation action it costs 2 Food; in 4/5-player slots first/second Occupation may cost 1 Food and later ones 2 Food), and Minor Improvements are played when you take an action that permits them (for example the Minor Improvement action or after Renovation); when you play or buy a Major Improvement you must read its text aloud (pages 3, 5 and 10).
