TheWoWDBOk, this is a CRAPPY quest. There are only 8 in the area, and 3 of them are bugged so they just EVADE when I attack them. Been here for almost 30 minutes and only got 2 steaks. LAME

Does anyone else feel weird about slaughtering numerous mushan in this quest, right after we just got done interacting with a highly-intelligent one in the last quest?
Did this quest today, there were plenty of Mushan around and had an average drop rate. It may have been fixed in Legion, either way it's easily finished now.

Description
I told you earlier, my pigs are picky eaters. They need to eat meat to grow strong, but they don't like mutton, they don't like yak, and I'm not about to feed them any pig meat. They do, however, eat meat off of the mushan beasts, and they're also quite partial to turtle. Both creatures can be found in abundance to the west. My skills as a hunter are admittedly quite weak. Can you help out a young rancher and his pigs?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Fabulous Miss Fanny
Most of these vegetables will be sold, but I'd like to keep some for my family. Specifically, my nephew Liang needs some to feed to his pigs. Unfortunately, the pathway to Liang's farm is currently swarming with Snagtooth virmen. We're going to have to ask Miss Fanny to help us out.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Back to the Sty
I try to keep an eye on my stock, but every once in a while some of them sneak away. With all the confusion these virmen are causing, I may have let my guard down for a few moments, and some of my pigs escaped. Care to look for them? I'd start by looking down the hill, to the west.
