What are you talking about? I don't remember any big animal-related changes recently. And the only micro-management I can think of is to not accidentally shear off male's parts together with wool.

Animals don't average stats anymore. They pick either mother or father's stat and apply random to it with a slightly higher chance to pick the better one.
My rule of thumb for milking animals atm is "Breeding at least = to Q of male, Breeding = to Q-10 of female, highest milk quality after % multiplacation (milk final on livestock manager)"
It seems to be working fine. The basic summary of the new system is "Breeding Q matters now make sure to pay attention to it, don't backbreed good stock to bad stock because you'll be unhappy with the result".
