For the Wild West Pioneers native quest 30 cattle objective, click the icon above Logistics to send the cattle. For Cattle for native quest, the reported sequence is that later batches of 30 cows leave automatically. Existing cattle count toward the quest after the September 28, 2026 hotfix; you do not need to breed new ones specifically for it.
How Do You Send the Cattle?
Check your existing cattle
The quest requires 30 cattle. The September 28 hotfix changed the quest to count cattle you already own.
Click the icon above Logistics
Use the quest icon above the Logistics building. This is the dispatch interaction reported to work.
Watch for the next batch
Later requests for another 30 cows were reported to dispatch automatically after the initial click. After three deliveries, a scout reported that some cattle had been spooked and needed to be chased down.
The successful dispatch sequence has no confirmed gameplay screenshot. The exact timing between batches and the route for recovering the spooked cattle are not confirmed yet.
What If the Icon Is Missing or the Cattle Do Not Count?
Opening the Logistics tent's wagon menu can leave you seeing only Sand Storm settlement as a destination. The working interaction described above is the icon over Logistics; a native destination in the wagon menu is not confirmed yet.
| Symptom | Relevant fix |
|---|---|
| Existing cattle do not count toward the quest | September 28, 2026: existing cattle now count; breeding new ones is no longer required. |
| Cattle count in the top bar does not update | October 2, 2026: fixed the top bar failing to update when cattle numbers changed. |
| A placeholder panel appears over the Logistics Center after loading a save without resuming time | October 2, 2026: fixed that placeholder panel. |
| Cattle Ranch says “Not connected to Warehouse” | October 2, 2026: fixed this warning when the ranch only needed a Barn. |
A guaranteed workaround for a quest icon that remains missing after these fixes is not confirmed yet. The counting fix does not establish that every missing-icon case is resolved.
