Odd. I have four horses, three or four cattle, a yak, two reindeer, a pig, a goat, and a water buffalo all happily grazing around the pastures of Fightworked. I guess maybe that poor overworked milker dragging the females off to the farmer's workshop might be moving them around the field enough...?

(I panicked at grazing and built two giant pastures: one for male animals and one for female animals. I have two each horses and cattle in the "Guys" pasture, everything else is in the "Gals" pasture along with the milk house.)

I think those large animals simply need to graze to much, so much so they don't have time to graze sufficiently. They die because they can't eat fast enough. Or so I read anyway.

ya large animals such as elephants eat slower then they need to. The fastest speed anything can eat in game is once every 20 game time units, 10 to eat and 10 to move onto next tile. They get hungrier every 15 game time unit so they'd eventually starve...

Supposedly press cakes will be used as animal feed in future versions too.
