Description/purpose:
Breeding is one of the few farming methods that cannot be done quickly. Similar to zombies, animals should be able to pick up wheat making them want to breed. If animals could pick up the wheat, players will be able to make a farm that uses dispensers to shoot out the wheat at the animals. This would result in the animals being bred with the push of a button. After that, you could release some water, putting the animals into a hole where they could be slaughtered.
What could this do for Minecraft?
If the animals were bred by themselves, players could easily farm the animals. This would result in a drop in price for meats and other drops. Players will be able to farm thousands of drops. Animals are something players have wanted to find efficient ways of farming for a long time.

How would this work?
This would be similar to how zombies work with picking up items. When an animal picks up the wheat/carrot, they will be ready for breeding. When an animal has reproduced, it will not be able to pick up wheat until it's ready to breed again. This will make it so more animals can be made.

Wow! This seems like an awesome idea! Maybe have a farm up with an automatic harvester that pushes the crops to the animals, like with.. a daylight sensor, maybe? So it activates the pistons that make the water push the crops to the animals and the animals eat from wherever the closest food is. Anyways, awesome work, Diamond and a Favorite for you!
