Replaces FS25’s simple animal clusters with individually tracked animals, each with unique genetics, breeding, diseases, and production traits. Every animal has its own identity, genetic makeup, health status, and production output, managed through the RL Menu. This is a maintained version of Arrow-kb’s original Realistic Livestock mod.
Features
