Utilizing Pasture

[Sunbow]

I made a field into one that supports grazing also (pasture). I built a sheep farm near it. How do I get animals and how do I get them to go on this pasture? Thanks.

You build a livestock trader on the king's road. You staff that livestock trader. You tell that livestrock trader to import the amount of sheep that you need.

Since you have no other pasture, they should automatically move to the fenced in fallow fields. Otherwise you build a pasture, let them enter that pasture, then delete said pasture. If they do stay in place after that, it's a glitch that you can fix by changing the fenced in fallow field from fallow to wheat and back to fallow again. They should start moving towards that field after that.

Bless you! [Please accept the two most expensive awards as a token of my gratitude] I was getting crazy that the sheep herd wasn't moving to the fields with fences, even though there was no space left.

Just for information to anyone else coming here:
My sheep-assigned families instantly moved the sheep herd from the deleted pasture space to the Fallow fenced up Field.

Glad I could be of assistance!

To pick up on that - there is no manual method to direct a sheep herd from a normal pasture towards a field where i went them to do their job? Hope this gets reworked in the future. Even if there won't be a manual option, the sheep should automatically move either to a field in state fallow, or back to their main stay pasture if there is none.

+1 would definitely appreciate needing no workarounds and just having a button to press.
