Quality of life for Animal Husbandry
So i was tending to my Animals today and when i was checking for breeding progress i was thinking its kinda weird to wait for Nature to take its way with the mating. I mean in the real world animalbreeding farmers also woulnt just let theyr cattle ... Do the Hayroll ... Rather its a selective process where the farmer leads the Cattle to the mate and have them do the deed. So i suggest that there is an Option to have 2 leashed, Tamed animals Mate on command in some way. Maybe make it an option for the Leash, or make a specialised construktion like a "special" hitching post. Also might be a effect for the Herder Credo to get this option. as it would be reasonable that it is considered an "Advanced technique. I mean i know that there is already a way for selctive breeding (namely just fencing em in on a 2x2 square) but that feels a little awkward ...

You keep just one male with females to control who is allowed to fuck.

Re: Quality of life for Animal Husbandry
True thing, and i think natural breedign should still exist, but this could be an additional optionfor faster better to controll pregnacies. thats why i made the suggestion of slaping it on the Herder Credo, so its not easy to abuse early on

You just keep genders separated and just let them meet each other when you want.

Re: Quality of life for Animal Husbandry
It's done in Haven just like it was done 2000 years ago in the iron age. If you have two animals ready to mate, the female will be pregnant within a few hours, if not a few minutes. given the time of pregnancy and raising the young, will a few hours matter?
