10*50kg per person... 500kg of meat.
2.5*500 = 1250 kg grain to feed *10 (only 10% of the flock is consumed)= 12500kg of corn consumed as animal feed. 12500/1300= 9.6 hectares /2 = 4.8 hectares cultivated as corn for animal feed. 4.8*40 (hectares * TL D labor hours) = 192 labor hours.
10*500/115=43.8 hectares of range land. 43.8*40 (hectares*TL D hours)=1739 labor hours
192+1739 = 1931 labor hours for 500 kg of poultry.

This matches my calculations. Less work, less land, birds win for the small land squatter. Now on to the extraction part of my spreadsheet......
