SA had cows and dried beef from Havana
To feed the garrison, dried beef was bought in Havana at a cost of 2,000 ducats a year. And when this did not arrive, or suffice, as often happened, a soldier slaughtered one of his family's cows. (Bartolome de Arguelles, May 12, 1591.) [Note: There were ordinarily eight reales in a peso and eleven in a ducat.]
