LS 25 Realistic Livestock RM V1.1.3.0
Replaces FS25’s simple animal clusters with individually tracked animals – each with unique genetics, breeding, diseases, and production traits. A maintained version of Arrow-kb’s Realistic Livestock mod.
Every animal is tracked separately with its own identity, genetic makeup, health status, and production output. Genetics are inherited through breeding, diseases can spread and require treatment, and production is driven by each animal’s individual traits.
This is a maintained version of the original Realistic Livestock mod by Arrow-kb, who has discontinued development. The goal is to keep the mod working, fix bugs, and make improvements where needed.

V1.1.3.0
What’s Changed – Mostly Hof Bergmann 1.4 compatibility fixes
– Fixed bridge animals (rabbits, quail, etc.) getting duplicate IDs in multiplayer, causing animals to disappear on clients
– Fixed bridge animal ID counter, now tracks per-type counters with savegame persistence
– Fixed bulk buy silently failing when map husbandries reject animal breeds (e.g. Hereford in Hof Bergmann filtered pens)
– Existing saves with duplicate bridge animal IDs are automatically repaired on load
– Added pre-validation for bulk buy: shows which animals can’t be purchased and why before confirming
– Added diagnostic logging for animal loading, breeding, and pack compatibility troubleshooting
– Added warnings when animals are lost due to removed packs or breed mismatches
