Taichi's firmly ensconced in the outlaws, providing organization, impetus, and morale boosts. Also suffering.

He has planted the idea for Kenny that there is a place for him taking care of the cattle and that his self-worth should not be determined by others' views of him.

The cow plans are as follows:
- shift the bulk of the herd to a series of caverns which can be turned into a barn and living quarters for the farmhands.
- cows will be rebranded for each town meant to receive charity cows
- These much smaller herds will be divvied up and driven to each town individually. (Including Ridge Rock.)
- The remainder will be kept in the caves with a rotating staff of outlaw herdsmen. Kenny is likely to be among/leading that team.
- One cow will be delivered to the Erebus dairy farm anonymously for the lols.
- In the future, bulls can be borrowed from the caves to cover heifers in the towns, calves may be exchanged, milk and cave-aged cheese bought or bartered for, etc. Supplies will be donated by all towns till the cavern herd is settled and self-sufficient. Caches will be established on the plains as exchange points. Efforts will be made to seed the plains in a widespread area all along the cliffs and towns to disguise the location of the caverns and provide feed for the herd.


Next week will be the aftermath of the blizzard, setting up the cavern hold, organizing the branding and smaller cattle drives... and likely going back to Ridge Rock to face the music.
