I had an animal get run over by a minecart. It kept passing out until I assigned it to a pasture and most of it's injuries had healed by the time it had been pastured.

You can use the units pet/livestock section to view your creatures and then zoom to the unsatifactory ones and choose to slaughter them from the view units.

 

It is still present in vanilla but there is a DFHack tweak that fixes it.

I've never seen anything like this in dwarf fortress.  I don't have enough time but if someone has that isometric viewer for dwarf fortress I'd like to see what it looks like.

Not sure what to do with it.  My first thought was to drop goblins off of it, but that doesn't seem like the most fruitful use of it.  I was also thinking about some kind of megastructure that strings bridges above the river.

Are you talking about Isoworld, Stonesense or Fortress Overseer?

If you mean you have 100 prepared turkey egg biscuits, stews, or roasts your food situation is okay. I would set up another 2-3 farms for other crops. Also if you have the wood to spare make ash and turn it into potash to fertilize your fields. Use large pots to store your food. Large pots can be made out of stone or wood at a craftdwarf's workshop. If you check your kitchen stock be sure that you aren't cooking plants but saving them for brewing.

Another option is to build a series of constructions and fill the pond a bit at a time by deconstructing them. It would be a lot of work but you only need 2/7 or 3/7 to stop evaporation.

I don't want to necessarily be in the starting seven dwarfs but I would like to be both a doctor and a butcher. Preferably more skilled in butchery. That way it will take more "practice" to become a good doctor. Unless I need to wait until my turn.

Outside of turkeys and pigs which are non-grazers. I would consider sheep which are grazers but have one of the lowest pasture size requirements and produce wool and milk and when slaughter will provide meat, bones, and hide. They aren't really necessary but having them can help prevent failed moods on occasion.

Take a cat or two. They are one of the few vermin hunters and will help stop your dwarves from getting some vermin related bad thoughts. If you want to prevent a catsplosion you could always take only male cats and ask for cats to be brought each caravan so you can grab more male cats as needed.
