FAVE Breed of Livestock (OR most useful breeds) for a Petting DLC

My dream Spring DLC pack is a Barnyard Pack, featuring these four habitat animals:

• Dutch Rabbit
• African Dwarf Goat
• Common Mallard Duck
• Scottish Highland Cattle

The Dutch Rabbit headliner to align with Easter, the African Dwarf Goat because it is the most common EAZA animal, the Common Mallard Duck to create mixed species duck ponds with the Mute Swan, and the Scottish Highland Cattle for its popularity and cute fluffy appeal.

I think it depends a little on how we are defining "Petting Zoo" cos there are animals which are domestic animals found in Zoos that I wouldn't really consider suitable for petting as such?

That said, if I were going for a "Domesticates Pack" I think I would go something like:

Alpaca
Greylag Goose (inc white "Farmyard" morphs)
Guinea Fowl
Manx Loaghtan (sheep)
Pygmy Goats
Shetland Pony
Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pig
Exhibit: Guinea Pigs

I would either change the Exhibit Animal to a Species of Hamster or the Guinea Pigs should be in the Walkthrough Exhibit

Definitely the Kunekune, they're in nearly every zoo in NZ its insane, but they're still common overseas as well. If we get a domestic pig they're by far my first pick.

Guineafowl also can't be mentioned enough IMO, they're so underrated. They're great for adding some spice to mixed savanna habitats and would be useful way outside of just a petting zoo. Plus, small filler birds are a niche the game is sorely lacking in.

And of course, literally any duck species would be a gift from the waterfowl gods, and I would cherish it with every fiber of my being.

Something simple for the rigs

1) Big White Pig
2) Chicken
3) Duck
4) Horse
5) Goat
6) Cat - introduce cat cafe within the zoo.
7) Dog - introduce service dogs
EX) Honey Bee - Also produce honey for money

The most basic and ubiquitous petting zoo animals are goats (African pygmy/Nigerian dwarf, though Nubian could also work) and chickens (generic bantams could work). Ideally you'd also want to have a donkey or pony (I prefer the former) and at least one breed of domestic cattle (Highland cow for petting zoos, Ankole Watusi for a popular African plains filler). A duck would be nice, either the regular domestic duck (derived from the mallard) or the Muscovy duck, which would bolster Latin American representation. Guineafowl would be great as another African filler species. A domestic rabbit could be the token new rig (wild rabbits and hares are really not common in zoos, at least in North America).

I hope for sheep! I know goats are more bold and sheep more shy but maybe it would be a way to introduce personalities? Sheep would probably be listed in zoopedia as neutral and goats as confident... Yet, some individual goats wouldn't be as inclined to come to guests...
