I am a Thor player and i find it more worthwhile to start using my heard animals after i have 4 dwarves on gold. this means that i dont have to build an ox right away and there isnt much room for them to walk so i get food fast, the animals are by the tc.

Don't forget that herd animals fatten, so eating them right away can cost you a LOT of food.

With Thor I immediatly research the gold mine(unless its a water map) upgrade and get the first 4 dwarves on gold then put the next few dwarves on WOOD by the tc until i have a few dwarves and enough wood for another ox cart so then I can either hunt nearby animals or go for berries/chickens (unless its a water map then I continue to chop wood) and I leave goats/pigs/cows until atleast classical age to eat.
