Villager Herders Feed and Breed Animal Mobs

Similar to farmer villagers harvesting crops, a herder villager feeds any nearby cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, rabbits, llamas, or horses. The AI senses if the mobs health is low or if the mob is ready for breeding. The player needs to supply the appropriate feed. Animal mobs also follow herder the same way baby mobs follow adults. This AI should make for some interesting auto farming.

  I know I'm a bit late to reply, but there's a clear reason why this won't happen.
  
  Feeding mobs causes them to breed. If Villager NPCs were autonomously feeding animals, the world would become over populated with mobs. It's the same reason no mob, including villagers eat autonomously, as they'll breed and flood the game with mobs.
  
  While this may be the intention for you so you can abuse the Entity Cramming mechanic, you'd have no way to control it.
