Does this mean wagons or sleds with the Idols on them being hauled off to
the
ritual a la some RW religious processions?

Shearing Shed? depends on the timing of the clip but throwing fleeces in the

Most butchering can be done outside particularly as you need a highish
gallows if you want to hang a larger beast. Perhaps all death can be
concentrated in one place (at least in a small stead) & your butchers
gallows double as the executioners gallows? Shouldn't be a frequent
occurence though.
The recurrent suggestion, initially Peter's IIRC, that we write up plug in resource/produce mdules with the availability limitted by population numbers sounds very GM friendly.

IME120 to 150 _total population_ isn't too many for one or two people to
loosely supervise with the details attended to by delegates, in this case
hearth heads, war band leaders, master hunters, parents, older sibs etc.
Which fits in logically with the 100+ stead being too big if that is only
adult population.

Personally I loved the detail of both birth & laying out occurring in the
sweat lodge but is there too much mythic conflict here? What happens when
they co-incide?
