Is there a way to view a specific animal before placing it in a cage?  I'm trying to cage most of my grizzlies as they're breeding out of control.  It would be helpful to at least view the gender in the cage assignment screen, but I can't see any info other than species.

not many options here, but here are two:

1. cage all grizzlies (multiple cages).  You can view creature from the cage itself, allowing you to selectively release the ones you want active.  Beware of pasture/cage repeat bug.

2. If you just need gender, and nothing more, edit the raws so the female grizzly caste has a different name.

Thank you, especially for the caste idea.  That'll definitely help me keep things sorted to get this breeding program under control.  Other than editing the creature file in the saved raw, is there anything else I should watch out for before I start DF back up?

Name change should be simple and without any hitches, considering you can make all sorts of more substantive changes to the raws without incident.

Awesome, now all of my adult female bears are displayed as "grizzly sows."

DfHack autobutcher/zone plugin. It adds a search option to the pasture UI that lets you filter animals by gender/name too. Mayor lifesaver.

I Have problems with the autobutcher function. I set it to autowatch and it creates a list with the default settings, but when I wish to modify it:
autobucther target fk=10 ... GIGANT_DINGO it sets the new target, but if I run autobucther list then it is back to the standard right away. What am I doing wrong?

Might be pointing out the obvious, but the linked thread or somewhere similar might be a better place to ask the more detailed questions about specific functions of third party add-ons and how to use them.
