Mod or setting to change some animals back to zone control

[Sgt Chibbles]

Does anyone know of a mod or setting that will let me change some animals back to using zone controls instead of pens? I really like the idea of pens for farm animals (chickens cows pigs ect ect) but imho it's a huge PITA with pack animals like horses donkeys alpaca. I've been hunting around for a mod that simply lets me select which animal species follow pen rules vs zone rules.

You might try this one; it allows you to select whether animals are pennable or not, so I assume it makes animals not set to be penned to be zoneable.

What *I* want is a mod that allows me to manually set specific individual animals to specific pens. With the Communicable Diseases mod, there is no simple way of setting up a quarantine pen without handlers automatically mixing all your healthy animals with sick animals.

Thanks again, I just did a quick test and yes, you can check animals into and out of zone or pen mode, outside of pen mode they follow the old 1.2 system of zoning, this is a simple very awesome mod.
I guess you could use zones instead of pens then just move one animal from one zone to the quarantine zone? It wouldn't use the pen mechanic but it would be a sort of pen I guess.
