FS25 To Pasture And Back V1.0

In FS25, barns with attached pastures let animals roam freely between the barn and the pasture or meadow. But standalone barns keep livestock locked inside. To Pasture and Back changes that.
This mod emulates the experience of letting otherwise barn-locked animals roam freely on fields and pastures suited to each species, especially useful when a barn is not attached to its own pasture. Send your animals to a field where they can graze, forage, wander, and rest. While the herd is out on pasture, only the youngest animals stay behind in the barn. When you recall them, the animals return to their stalls.
Feeding, breeding, and production continue as normal in the barn. The mod handles the visual side without affecting your farm’s economy.
All livestock supported (cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses). Chickens excluded.
Designed for the base game animal husbandry system.
FEATURES:
Send herds from any barn to a suitable field: cows and horses graze grass, sheep and goats browse rougher pasture, pigs forage on mowed fields and stubble
Collect several herds and drop them one per keypress: stack compatible species on one field or spread them across different fields
Animals too young to leave the barn stay home and remain visible in their stalls while the rest of the herd is out
Animals refuse fields with growing crops; grass at any stage and harvested stubble are fine
Adjust how many animals are visible at barns and pastures, per player (Auto picks by graphics quality, or 25 to 500 manual)
For fields without an existing fence, decorative temporary fences mark the grazing area (visual only, no collision, toggleable)
Manual recall any time (RCtrl+K)
Optional 10 PM curfew and 6 PM dusk reminder as safety nets for forgotten herds
Customizable on-screen messages (size, color, on/off)
Multiplayer supported
Saves and loads across sessions

Thank you for sharing detailed information about the "To Pasture And Back V1.0" mod for FS25. This mod seems to offer a comprehensive solution for allowing livestock to roam freely on fields and pastures, enhancing the gameplay experience for players who prefer more realistic animal husbandry practices.

The ability to send specific herds to suitable fields based on their species' preferences is a great addition, as it adds another layer of management and immersion to the game. The feature where only the youngest animals remain in the barn while the rest graze on the fields is a nice touch and adds a sense of realism to the game.

The mod's customization options, such as adjusting the number of visible animals at barns and pastures, setting a curfew, and customizable on-screen messages, provide flexibility for players to tailor the mod to their preferences and playstyle.

The implementation of temporary fences for fields without existing fences is a good visual aid to mark the grazing area, further enhancing the realism of the gameplay without affecting collision.

The inclusion of support for multiplayer, saves and loads across sessions, and the reminder features for curfew and dusk all contribute to a user-friendly experience that caters to different types of players.

Overall, this mod seems to be a valuable addition for players looking to enhance their livestock management experience in FS25, and its restriction to only be hosted on the official GIANTS ModHub ensures quality and authenticity for users.
