In every single one of my forts, when I have enough animals in a pasture, they start beating the living crap out of each other.

Anyone have any tips on how to deal with this?

Not put that many animals in a pasture.

Seriously, that's the only way to handle it, I think.  That or possibly modding.

Grazing livestock require a certain area of space to feed themselves. Putting more in a pasture than it will support will starve them.

Other animals, will get angry / squabble over space if there is not enough room to move about.

I've had dogs and dwarves fighting in a too small meeting hall before.

The best solution is to make multiple pastures instead of one large pasture. And spread the animals about.

I like to use pigs and dogs for all my farming. No pastures!

Or get your dwarves to stop partying for 10 minutes to haul off all the new meat, leather, and bones you just made from butchering.

Pastures are still useful to keeping them in allocated area without extra effort.

And animals will squabble even if there's enough pasture space, just less often. To prevent conflicts entirely, allocate an individual pasture per each animal.
