| Description | A comprehensive livestock overhaul for Farming Simulator 25.
This mod is based on the FS25 Realistic Livestock mod by Arrow-kb.
GitHub: https://github.com/renfordt/FS25_EnhancedLivestock
Features:
Male Animals
- Higher market value compared to females
- Essential for reproduction - realistic breeding requirements
- Uses vanilla models
Visual Animals
- Increased capacity from 25 (vanilla) up to 200 visual animals per husbandry
- Adjustable limit via in-game slider for performance optimization
Individual Animals
- 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
- Ear tags on left and right ears displaying country, farm ID, animal ID, name, and birthday
- Toggle ear tag text visibility via settings
- Partial identifier marking on hindquarters
- Nose rings on supported animals
Optional Dependencies
- FS25_FontLibrary - Enhanced font rendering for ear tags (shader-based fallback if not installed)
- FS25_AnimalPackage_vanillaEdition - Automatically integrates new animal models and variants from this popular mod
Enhanced Pregnancy System
- Species-specific litter sizes (e.g., cows can have 0-3 calves)
- Conception at breeding - offspring created when mother is expecting, 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
- Five genetic traits: Health, Fertility, Metabolism, Productivity, and Growth Quality
- Inheritance mechanics - offspring inherit traits from parents
- Economic impact - genetics directly affect sale value and profitability
Weight System
- 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 loss
- Vulnerable young animals - juveniles especially susceptible to weight-related health issues
- Sale value impact - weight directly affects market price
Enhanced UI
- Family tree viewer - track lineage and breeding lines
- Detailed animal screens - extensive stats and information
- Enhanced info boxes - quick access to vital animal data
Enhanced Production
- Cow milk production: Only produce milk when lactating, yield rises and falls based on lactation curve
- Sheep wool production: Seasonal wool growth, only produce wool during warm months
- Production affected by genetics and health
Life Cycle and Aging
- No age limits - animals can live beyond 5 years
- Species-specific lifespans - each animal type has realistic expected lifespan
- Progressive life cycle - increasing chance of leaving with age, but can live past expectancy
- Multiple causes for leaving: Old age, poor health, pregnancy complications
Enhanced Animal Dealer
- 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
