Make domestic animals require area to roam

But animals will not only agressive, but also will try to run out of their fence.

I'd be ok with this if they added actual management mechanics. Setting a pasture zone where you can see all the animals in the area, their stats, and mark them for butchering/moving/etc would be amazing.

I really like this idea. Could be expanded to include farm field management. Maybe make the setup and/or maintenance of a managed field/pasture (mass shearing, milking, slaughter, harvest and planting) require xp, in the form of a spell?

maybe no xp cost and just balanced design, study already costs enough

I agree that there should be more reasons to care for their general well being. I keep my animals in the perpetual darkness of a mine, next to several months worth of old caracasses of their young, which I regularly cull right in front of them. Not sure that's really optimal.
