End of the world/zombie books

I like listening to EOTWAWKI books at work. First I have to day that editors are really falling down on the job these days.  Sigh. Well something that pricked my imagination during one of these books - Odd Bill Todd - is just how long does anyone here think that farm animals will survive in a situation where most everyone just up and dies off?

The author is really bad about this as there is no way any pigs still confined would survive 3 months alone.  But what about pastured animals?  Any guesses out there? And how would you go about rounding them up?

I was a Walking Dead fan until the show went kinda wild.

Animal might not last very long whether confined or free range very long near big cities.

Out in the boondocks where i live all the sheep and cows will continue munching grass and chewing the cud for a long, long time ... maybe even eternity.

Atwood's year of the flood is one of my favourite end of the world books.  Then I found out it was the middle of a trilogy!  So much joy!

Mags is the best. She's a better writer than I am, and I'll get her for it! Kidding.
