Wise ass.
When you are dividing an entire living creature that may be the case as a fractional piece of livestock is a) of limited value and b) more than likely no longer living and therefore no longer
livestock.
Bushels of grain can be divided fractionally so there is no need to borrow anything. However it is a pain in the ass to measure out 1/9 of a bushel.
1/9 of 8 gallons is .888888888888889 gallons...
