Renaming them would be lovely, and honestly i quite like the armor idea upon more thought. A bull wearing armor would be wearing it *in place* of their bags, so it would more or less become a dedicated battlebull. Maybe some artificial horns built into the helmet to replace its broken natural ones.

I'll have to wait to get the screenshots as my current bull has only been on a couple short trade missions. I'm not lying about having bulls move at 15 and 16, though. That's been part of my strategy with them, and the only reason I regularly use them. Otherwise they'd be bait for the dogs.

My outpost is producing quite well so I can probably start running some goods out and see what speed I can get it to. I'll hopefully have a screenshot shortly.

It has been requested several times, not sure if animal renaming is coming or not though :)

And how is it a cow? To me they appear like bulls with sawed-off horns.

it is a bull, cow dont have horns. the idea of renaming the bull is very nice, as i have 3 bulls and sometimes it's quite annoying to guess which bull has my goods, my foods, my equipments :/
i'll definitely rename them :food storage, weapon storage, armor storage :lol:

I bought a female, it's a cow, or possibly a heifer if one wants to get pedantic. And yes, cows do have horns. Both in the game and in RL.

ok, i stand corrected. I watch too many dairy cow that i forget wild cow can grow horns. dairy cows dont have horns because they're removed when they were small.
