Can't create a beefalo pen, they always try to go back to their old herd

[𝓕𝒖𝒏𝒌𝒚]

Hi,

I set my base a bit far from beefalo herds, so I decided to create a new one using Beef Horn. First I create rock walls, then dig some savanah turf and plant inside, the pen is pretty spacious tho. I patiently lead 5 of them into the pen, close it and wait for 1 season, they are still trying to get back to their old herd. I have tried almost everything, reloading the server, using pan flute to make them sleep (still nothing change after they wake up), killed off more than half of their old herd, even putting baby beefalos inside.

Idk what I'm doing wroing here but I have tried every solutions I can think of right now

can you post a screenshot?
you can try just put walls around it and make a door in the opposite side

they already stated they put walls around them in their post

OP is saying that they keep TRYING to get back to the old herd, so probably constantly walking against the wall rather than normal behavior

The problem is they won't produce any baby beefalo or manure, and I won't be able to shave the ones in the corner

because if they're constantly walking, then they're not doing normal behavior. AKA having babies, making manure, etc.

I'm sorry OP, i'm not sure what to tell you. I haven't tried herding beefalo in ages

oh i have idea
i heard they don't like stepping on smashed grass walls
you will have to move the walls and put in all the corners grass walls and smash them
not sure if it is good idea to do it in day so wait until night or use pan flute

Just an idea, try blowing a beefalo horn next to them, like, bringing them to middle of the pen or something?

Ya I tried that, no use

Put several salt licks in the middle of the pen, then build new ones when they deplete :)

I may try it now, hope it will change their behavior afterward

The beefs did come to lick it, but they walk back to herd after depleted

Just keep rebuilding them :) You can also make sure that they aren't close to another beefalo herd. Once a certain distance away from them, they shouldn't try to rejoin the herd.
