This is my september 2025 notes about enhanced animal system mod usage when playing on PMC Undefined Farms 20km v0.2.7 terrain. I had chicken and sheep barns already running when I installed this mod, there was no issue doing it for existing animal placeables.
New animals appeared on first of brand new month at midnight 0000hrs. But I believe this is base game functionality already.
On my very first use of enhanced animal system mod, my chickens and sheep got mixed female and male offspring, first time I ever see that, nice. On the first offspring there was plenty of females which eventually grow to have their own offspring in a never ending cycle of life, very cool.
There are new 3d models with textures and also sounds for the baby animals. This is very refreshing to see actual new models, very cool indeed.
My second month changed to feb 1st, there was no births because females were not ready to give birth, guess it might become a bit overwhelming if you'd receive new offspring every single month. I had some animal upkeep fee reduced from my budget, it was multiple -$20 and one -$100, hmm I have no idea which ones these were.
Feb 1st was just walking around my farm yard checking chickens and sheep's, now those baby lambs and rams were up and about walking around, I have to say that looks very nice to have those new 3d models/textures for them instead of faked adult old default giants animal model used, super nice indeed, I really like it, I'm very excited about animals now. I simply cannot wait until I get to cattle, cows and pigs. Heck I'm almost considering buying horse stable/barn in this savegame to check it out although my understanding is that horses are somewhat "dumb animals in fs22" as you wont get any products, not even manure/slurry, out of them and all you can do is "useless visual" riding of them, I mean its very cool for the first time, but once you've done it... why do it again, other than role playing some cowboy by putting on the stetson at farmhouse and ride around the farm in your horse. Sure I admit it would be cool to have a relaxing horse ride around your fields, vehicle sheds etc, but especially on large terrains this might become not so relaxing but simply boring for those long distances, horse riding in farmsim just screams "ravenport pixel porno keeps stupid kidz happy" type of theme. But hey, maybe its me. At least I love chickens, sheep's, pigs and cattle/cows
Your animals grow during a month, but there will be no births (at least not yet in my savegame), so baby animal models like the chicken little chick models turn into actual chicken models to represent animal growth. So you cant expect new animals during a month but at least you get to see the chicks change into adult models during a month. This obviously assumes you're running more than 1 day seasons config, in my example I was running 9 day seasons which is the good old default from Farming Simulator 19 (FS19).
If you monitor your animal menu and see some animals split off from "the cluster", that is because some females gave birth and their stats changed, so they had to be separated. FS22 lists all identical animals in cluster "data package". I would say that over time as more and more of this happens you can take your initial animal purchases and kiss those clusters goodbye as they will very often change because births.
Mar 1st, new chickens have hatched, 5 * female and 4 * male. Happy birthday

Apr 1st, new chickens have hatched, 13 * female and 11 * male.
May 1st, new chickens have hatched, 3 * female and 8 * male. A bit smaller female batch this time.
Jun 1st, new chickens have hatched, 9 * female and 11 * male, again higher load of males than females, maybe its just me but I consider these male animals in chickens and sheep's as useless as they don't reproduce, bulls and I assume boars are needed for reproduction on cow/pig side, hmm not sure if rams (male sheep?) are needed, hmm. Anyways. Also new sheep has born, 2 * female and 1 * male. Guess the sheep reproduction is much less than chickens, I wonder if its mostly the same for cows and pigs as well.
I am not bored waiting, don't mean that, but yeah the sheep reproduction pace is very slow compared to chickens, or perhaps my world view is somehow skewed, I mean hasn't it only been like 2 years of game-play after I got animals going, hmm or just one full year, hmm I cant recall.
I have to assume that once you have larger herd then these births get out of control so to speak, will be really interesting to see. But I am fully and greatly enjoying this enhanced animal system mod game-play

Jul 1st, new chickens have hatched, 27 * female and 28 * male. Quite even mix, but still I'd prefer females as they breed in the future
New sheep has born, 3 * female and 3 * male.
At this moment I am not sure if males, rams, produce wool as that is the only thing they could do beside being sold for profit which sheep's wont get very much, they are cheap animals if I understood it correctly, horses, pigs and cattle are more the animals to sell for profit.

Bought PMC Cow Barn 800 (my own config XML mod from giants cow barn), dumped TMR there, then came back to the farm yard and put straw bales alone into the Silo King TraileLine 1000+ 4535 mixing wagon until it was 44k liters full, then dumped that to the cow barn for straw bedding, then purchased 10 dairy cows, 10 angus cattle and two bulls
Also stamped manure heap next to the cow barn 800.
