I usually dump them in pits.

Here's another question on this subject; if animals in cages don't breed with eachother, what about animals on chains/ropes?

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to keep my non-pet animals out of my feasthalls without turning off the 'hang out' option. I tried putting them in a room and setting the only exit to animals can't pass, but they would just stand there with a flashing question mark trying to pathfind out of the room to get back to the feasthalls, and would eventually escape by going through a door when a dwarf went in or out.

Build a pit. Have the access door be both tightly sealed and forbidden, but have an access door in case you need to retrieve any animals. Drop all unwanted animals into the pit. They will be stuck there, but free to breed with each other.

Well, I definately want to retrieve them. The idea is to breed a whole mess of cows or other critters, for their leather.

So, if I put them into an animal pit, they won't sit around with a big question mark trying to pathfind their way out? That sounds perfect.

Animals on chains definitely breed. My chained guard bears can confirm this.
