A very minor tweak, simply sort the list of owned animals so that all creatures of the same species are grouped together. It doesn't matter if the order of species is alphabetical, or mammals-first, or biggest (average) size to smallest, as long as players don't have to hunt through what may be several screens of units to see how many goats they have.

Also, please add a new column for each animal's gender: ♂, ♀, and 0 for gelded males. Yes, most animals already have names (e.g., ram/ewe) that indicate sex, but pets' names override that.

It might also be worth adding another column, showing whether each animal is Tame, or trained for Hunting or War. Or alternatively, just organize the list further, so that in each given species, pets are shown first, followed by War & Hunting animals, with general livestock last.

+1 though I don't know how I feel about the last suggestion. If you split up all pets from all general livestock, then you won't have e.g. all goats in one place.

. . . just organize the list further, so that in each given species, pets are shown first, followed by War & Hunting animals . . .

So the list would show something like:

Stray Horse					♀					Tame
Stray Horse					♂					Tame
Stray Horse					♀					Tame
Stray Horse					0					Tame
Stray Horse Foal					♂					Tame
Eshtan Tiristilral, Dog					♀					Tame
Trained Dog					♀					War
Trained Dog					♀					War
Trained Dog					♂					War
Trained Dog					♂					Hunting
Trained Dog					0					Hunting
Stray Dog					0					Tame
Stray Dog					♀					Tame
Stray Dog Puppy					♂					Tame
Stray Dog Puppy					♀					Tame
Stray Dog Puppy					♂					Tame
Doren Erushvukcas, Goat Kid					♂					Tame
Stray Billy Goat					♂					Tame
Stray Nanny Goat					♀					Tame
Stray Goat Kid					♀					Tame

Although I have to correct myself,

Yes, most animals already have names (e.g., ram/ewe) that indicate sex, but pets' names override that.

Pet names do still carry sex tags (e.g., "Ducim Rigothdeler, Doe Rabbit"), but certain species--such as llamas, cats, and I think geese--do not have sex tags at all in their names.

According to the raws section in their page on the wiki, female geese are called geese and male geese are called ganders.
