I really don't like this, that's unfair. A cow or a few sheeps or a few pigs is not a great deal on the farm, so it's not necessary to build a barn which is bigger than my land in order to keep them. Seems like getting livestock will be an interesting task, as well as breeding and keeping them, but i see no reasons to make livestock available only to large settlements and groups.
Welcome to Salem. Some of the harder stuff requires our is easier if you are part of a team. The cures aren't hard to make, isinglass, pectin and another ingredient such as tobacco leaves, so it is still possible for hermits, just harder, as it should be.
