I haven't tested but it may well be that the game is just filling up slots in the order buildings were built.

There doesn't seem to be any management of Ox locations at present beyond just where you build posts/stables, would be nice to see that come in the future so we could have spare spaces around the village and move Oxen around to be closest to the locations we expect them to work as needed.

Hi,

had the same issue for ages, 2 oxen and 5 sheep staying there, today i destroyed the trading post for animals, and people came to take the oxens and the sheeps finally moved to the pasture, ( only 3 sheep remained as 2 escaped in the nature apparently ).

I only i had discovered this earlier ....

Now will rebuild the trading post and see what happens next time ....

i build another hitch, no ox appear, so i click on the button to buy 1 ox, message says merchant will deliver it, after a year, no ox, i think there is a bug and i cant find how to report it.

did you look in your animal trader stable ?

i think i figured it out, so the livestock trading post comes standard with 4 pasture space and 2 stable space, until those spaces become full they will not be moved to available stables or pastures, and in regards to pastures it will prioritize the sheep farm (which has 5 pasture space) over the open pasture itself.

this is not a big concern for people who take the sheep breeding development since they will populate themselves, but oxen will never do that so they will stay in the livestock trading post until it overflows or is deleted. that said from my observations those oxen cooped up in the livestock trade post are still being used as long as your stable has more than one worker in it, some more testing/observation will be needed to confirm this with certainty.

edit: sheep in the livestock trader also get sheared by the sheep farm, so there's that.

i can say i did something else in regards of that, just pause the trader and the ox will go to the hitching post when ordered from there.

i did some testing on this and it can be hit or miss in some cases, if the ox was ordered from the livestock trader then it will in all likelihood perish while in the trader, but if it was ordered from a hitching post/stable then once the ox arrives at the livestock trader you pause it, it will likely be transferred over to a hitching post. unlike sheep it wont just go there on its own.
