This mod is based on the FS25 Realistic Livestock mod by Arrow-kb, who has decided to cease all his mods.
Features
🐂 Male Animals
Transform your breeding program with the addition of male animals:
Higher market value compared to females
Essential for reproduction – realistic breeding requirements
Uses vanilla models (no custom 3D models required)
👀 Visual Animals
Enhanced animal visualization system:
Increased capacity from 25 (vanilla) up to 200 visual animals per husbandry
Adjustable limit via in-game slider for performance optimization
🏷️ Individual Animals
Every animal is truly unique with comprehensive individual tracking:
100% individual animals – archaic cluster system completely removed
Unique identifiers based on the UK’s cattle identification system
Birthday and country of origin for each animal
Customizable names for your livestock
Physical identification tags:
Ear tags on left and right ears displaying country, farm ID, animal ID, name, and birthday
Partial identifier marking on hindquarters
Nose rings on supported animals
🤰 Enhanced Pregnancy System
Realistic and dynamic reproduction mechanics:
Species-specific litter sizes (e.g., cows can have 0-3 calves)
Conception at impregnation – offspring created when mother is impregnated, not at birth
Pregnancy tracking – view expected offspring count and due dates
Individual gestation periods – reproduction duration varies by animal, not by species
🧬 Genetics System
Deep genetic simulation affecting every aspect of animal performance:
Five genetic traits:
💚 Health – resistance to disease and injury
👶 Fertility – reproduction success rates
⚡ Metabolism – food consumption and weight regulation
📈 Productivity – milk, wool, and egg production
🥩 Meat Quality – value at slaughter
Inheritance mechanics – offspring inherit traits from parents
Economic impact – genetics directly affect sale value and profitability
⚖️ Weight System
Dynamic weight management with real consequences:
Individual weight tracking for every animal
Daily weight fluctuations based on food and water consumption
Ideal weight targets influenced by metabolism genetics
Health consequences – unhealthy weight affects health and can lead to death
Vulnerable young animals – juveniles especially susceptible to weight-related health issues
Sale value impact – weight directly affects market price
🖥️ Enhanced UI
Comprehensive information at your fingertips:
Family tree viewer – track lineage and breeding lines
Detailed animal screens – extensive stats and information
Enhanced info boxes – quick access to vital animal data
Clean, intuitive interface design
📊 Enhanced Production
Realistic production cycles based on biological factors:
🥛 Cow milk production:
Only produce milk when lactating
Yield rises and falls based on lactation curve
Production tied to pregnancy cycle
🧶 Sheep wool production:
Seasonal wool growth
Only produce wool during warm months
Production affected by genetics and health
⏳ Death and Aging
Natural lifecycle with meaningful consequences:
No age limits – animals can live beyond 5 years
Species-specific lifespans – each animal type has realistic expected lifespan
Progressive mortality – increasing death chance with age, but can live past expectancy
Multiple death causes:
👴 Old age
💔 Poor health
⚠️ Random accidents
🤰 Pregnancy complications
🏪 Enhanced Animal Dealer
Completely reimagined purchasing experience:
Global farm network – hundreds of unique farms across supported countries
Farm specialization – each farm produces up to 3 animal types
Daily deliveries – farms send animals to dealer each day
Time-limited availability – animals eventually disappear if not purchased
Dynamic inventory – continuous rotation with new animals
Local and imported stock – mostly local animals with occasional imports
Unique genetics – every animal has individual traits affecting price
Pregnant animals available – chance to purchase pregnant stock
Quality-based pricing – farm quality affects animal traits and cost
🚧 In Development
The following features are currently being developed:
🦠 Disease System – Animal health conditions and treatments
📝 Message Log – Event tracking and history for husbandries

Good job man!i try this mod and i have no issues but no goat milk?i wait many month in game but no goat milk…
I can’t seem to get goat milk to generate with this mod either.
yeah no goat milk
Hi, does this mod work with enhanced animal system mod?
Hi renfordt iv’e just started using your mod, iv’e come across an issue not being able to AI cattle. I buy the ai straws then go and press E to select a straw and then my game crashes. I’m mot sure if this has been a mentioned issue but i cant manually AI cows.
still not showing milk storage on mp servers not sure if its because my cows are pregnant or not and then when they start producing milk again it will show up?
Normally it should show up after one ingame hour. If it does not work please let me know (best would be to create a issue on GitHub) and I’ll check in detail if there is anything missing.
can you please link your github m8?
this mod makes animals invisible
What do you mean? Do you use any custom animal models?
It removes custom animals on hof bergmann
there is still the issue with mp server sync with no milk showing up in the dairy herd shed can you please look into this issue please.
is assisted breeding supposed to only succeed like 1% of the time EVER?? i have two cows, both with “extremely good” fertility and NO poor stats, at 100% health. i only buy straws from bulls with similarly good genetics, and only from “extremely good” fertility genetics. i have wasted thousands of dollars trying to breed either of them. i’ve tried once a day on each of them for 45 in-game days. same message every single day. all i want is to get some milk production going…
Interesting issue, haven’t experienced this issue during the development. Could you please create an issue on GitHub if possible?
Maybe there is a mod conflict (I don’t believe it in this case) or there might be a bug in the code. With how many days per months are you playing?
NAAAA issues still if u can fix them then perfect when riding horses screen blacks out
Thanks for the info! I’ll check it out and try to fix it.
MP support ?
Yes, at my server it works. If you find any issues feel free to post an issue on my GitHub page.
if you already have an established herd of cattle (3,000) don’t download this mode. it eliminates your entire herd.
Yes that was indeed a bug due to the renaming. I have added an migration manager, which should now correctly migrate all animals to the new mod. If anyone has a big herd feel free to send me the AnimalSystem.xml file of the savegame and I’ll test it for with a bigger herd as well.
Been using Realistic Livestock for a while now. Assume I will need to start again with this mod or is there a way i can transfer my files so i can continue but on the new version ? Thanks.
когда загружен этот мод,то не могу сдать рогатый скот на мясокомбинат, подскажите проблему
With the old version it was not possible, but with the newer version you can migrate from Realistic Livestock to Enhanced Livestock
