We have Buffalo, Long Horns, Jerseys, Herefords, Gurnseys, Dexters, Alpacas, various sheep n pigs, all the deer types including muntjuics.
I would have thought that [ depending on how big your group is ] that in an area of seven miles you would be better off re-farming those animals,... farm animals are there to feed the country,.. they would be one of your keys to surviving,.... you cant stay in one small group forever, you will need to branch out in order to start again,..and it will be farming that re-starts anything

In my view all cattle will bred naturaly, the only reasons that cattle are artifiicaly inseminated is in order to inpregnate cows with better genes to improve a herd,.... or because the farm doesnt have a bull,... to most farmers a Bull is a cost they cant afford, he is no good to the farmer except for once a year,... its not because cattle cant breed on their own
