Peter Metcalfe paints a pretty mundane picture of the kinds of livestock in the Lunar Heartland: Oxen, cows, horses, pigs, goats, and emus. (OK, the emus are exotic.) But what about the gazzam, the dinosaurs? They were herded in Murharzarm's and Urvairinus' times (GRAoY, pp. 14 & 29, thank God for the index.) Are they still extant? I can see them getting killed off in the Darkness ice age, but it seems like there is a lot of MGF in having domestic triceratops lumbering around. Oxen? Who needs them when one of the big guys can plow an acre in a minute.
