They don't approach the trough. They eat only if they are within range of it's radius. They don't need physical access, you can put the troughs on the other side of their fences if you want.

Great ty, i checked post to ask JC exactly this. Still not sure how i feed them traits food, by thowing in trough or feeding the directly? We are advancing in knowledge...B)

Also i belive that we should be able to craft lubricants instead of gathering only. Hence the way we applie suppositories, recipe might look like sharpened stick+stringy sinew+lard+any berries (for flavor)...B)

Rofl, very creative, sadly my mind went straight to trying to picture what the reasoning behind all of the ingredients would be. Sounds quite cruel, i think the animals might prefer a little suppository, even unlubricated, to the alternative you offer : shoving it in with a stick then tugging on stringy sinew to retract the stick, while leaving their rear covered in lard and smelling refreshingly like berries? xDD Oh god, too much.

Also what do you mean by "traits food" ?

I`m suggesting recipe for lubricant, not suppository and they don`t need to see preparation..>B)

#3:  Either way, since they are adults and as you pointed out you cannot play with them then I suggest you feed them treats.  Goats like Indian corn and feeding them some Indian Corn should make them much happier...[/quote]

I can only assume that some animals might like things like acorns, or whatever the hell Sheep like?

(I've had relatives and neighbors with lots of animals, but not Sheep. I truly have no intuitive idea what they like. I have this idea pigs would like acorns and mushrooms, but who knows?)

The treats are:

Walnuts,
Four Leaf Clovers
Indian Corn
Wild Oats

I'll let y'all figure out which animals like which.
