Second posting down on the updates page. It implies it's not yet implemented, but that he's at least making preparations for it.

There was also mention awhile back of him implementing various grass types for the next release, thus making me think that various grasses will include various things eating them.

I really want "sheep herder" as a dwarf title. They can sleep in the pasture in the rain and never come back to the fortress. Damn undwarvenly animal lovers. SHUUUUUUUUN!

It would be all too easy to change 'animal caretaker' into 'shepherd', if that would make you happy.

Yeah, I think it will be new jobs for the animal caretakers which do nothing now.

With the amount of food that is produced in a mature fortress, I'm not really worried about feeding animals. When you have thousands of excess units of food, a couple dozen more mouths to feed doesn't really seem like an issue. But then again, the animals might need some special kind of food or something, who knows... I'm sort of interested in seeing how it ends up working.

I figure it will work something like:  Over the course of a year a cow eats 5 units of cow meat and produces 10 units of cow meat in the form of more cows.

Someone mod in some hamburgers. My cows are hungry.
