Cow keeps attacking fence

[Shadow Draxis]

I brought home a cow and its agitated and keeps attacking my fences. Is there a way to stop it from destroying fences until it calms down?

I haven't done much farm hand cowboy stuff yet.

But I'm wondering, is your blue farm quadrant including the fence? perhaps, and I have not even tested it, resize your farm boundary to be one tile less than a fence.

Do animals try to stay inside the blue farm boundaries?

I don't even know, but this came to my mind as i read this post.

They do wander off the boundaries, so it's not impossible they'll break the fence even if you build it away from they animal zone.

Man keeps loving woman
The hill is made of fire
Dreams transfix upon the cosmic radio
The cow keeps attacking fence.

oh okay. good to know.
I was under the impression they don't leave the boundary you set, if that was true, then my idea would be a fix for the mad cow.

That explains a lot. When I was very young, cows lived across the street from our house. They had 60 acres of fields and woods to hang out on, but always ended up in the middle of the road instead.

I haven't tried resizing boundaries, they live in those premade barns have access to the outside so I dont really want to resize them. Ill try the tree strat.

Is there a mod to stop cows from breaking the base?

Based on all I have been seeing and reading, the golden rule is to go visit any animal for 10 days in a row first and pet them every day. No skipping days. This should prevent males from getting unruly.

If you are moving animals with babies, take the babies and parents at the same time. separating them will cause you nothing but trouble.

Saw one guy separate a ram, its baby mama, and the baby. And surprise the ram started knocking down fences, and the mama got stressed. He ended up killing the ram, which only further distressed the mama, and by the time he went back and got the baby and brought it back, the stress on the mama had made her stop producing milk.

You need to understand this is all on those who are doing a bad job at role-playing this aspect like real life. I grew up breeding and raising livestock. We who do that are not cold blooded monsters with no love for the animals. We help them come into the world. We nurse them through illness. We bond with them and trust them as much as they trust us. And when its time to take the life of one, we do it with love, thanking them for the time shared and life they give to sustain us.

Any living thing up to and including us humans, are going to freak out if forced from our home, into a place we do not know, and separated from our loved ones. Fight or flight is inherent in all our natures. And no one should fault another living creature for that behavior.
