Which might mean that against normal resistance you make barely edible food 50% of the time ...(BTW Food poisoning is very common, probably increasing in frequency and mostly undiagnosed. Refrigeration doesn't necessary protect against it - in fact it can make the problem worse if foods are cooked, chilled and warmed again. Buying bacteria free food is also potentially dangerous as any bacteria it comes in contact with will have no competetion).

I think shepherding is difficult. A shepherd will have to constantly tend the sheep to avoid disease and probablty treat common ailments too. You can lose the entire flock through inattention (I'm reminded of Gabriel Oak at the beginning of Far from The Madding Crowd).
