I was surprised that we were sent to the country side to live, yet were not told to free some of the animals trapped in staples or barns or pens and hen houses or take over an abandoned farm. Chicken farms, cow sheds, pig farms (maybe keep the hogs and bulls behind enclosures), but let the rest of them out, or take care of them. They can probably look after themselves when out, eat grass, etc., chicken scratch around for food and worms, etc. But we can get eggs, and milk and other protein from them while we wait for the food to grow in the veggie garden and in the fields. We can make cheese and put that aside for later.
But if we don't let them out, we end up with a lot of dead animals and no bacon to put away for the winter.
Also if we find sheep and look after them we can harvest the wool and make clothes and get the sheep's wool fat as well. Wool fat can be used to make moisturiser or as a base for herbal pastes to put on wounds.
Knitting or crocheting is faster than making a loom to weave cloth in the early days so a source of wool would be handy.
Also probably not an option in gun free countries, but access to a gun and ammunition would be important. In case an animal gets injured and needs to be put down in a hurry or as a means for a quick slaughtering. We might also need to protect ourselves against feral animals.
Oxen would also make ploughing the field easier, so they'd be handy. I think checking out the local livestock that is available and figuring out what to keep, what we can feed, and what to set free for breeding and later hunting or recapture for food or breeding with might be good.
