Check your storages that hold grain. Are all the trucks in use? Or most of them? If yes, that's your problem. You need enough storage so that some of them don't have all their trucks in use all the time. Otherwise there are no trucks to deliver to your cattle.

This way, the trucks will deliver grain to your cattlefarms

Always:

Resources ------> Conversion -----> Storage -----> Factory/Outside connection


Crops ------> Cattle/Flourmill -------> Storage ------> Factory/Outside

You're missing storage between "Resource" and "Conversion" - otherwise you rely on your field needing to empty JUST at the right time when the pasture is asking for crops. If that doesn't happen (which is rare), the field will export and the pasture will import instead.

Also, distance is not a factor. The game will not pick the closest pasture to a field - it's all about when a request for a resource is sent out and what buildings are able to respond at that time. Sometimes you'll get lucky and it will be a building close by, sometimes they'll come from across the city.

OP states cattle not getting any resources...Do cattle not reside in pastures designed for grazing? Now I know that pigs don't normally graze but this after all is CS so why not let pigs graze? Point is if as it says pastures are used for grazing what other resources would they need?

As you'll notice there's no grass in the pastures, they'll need crops to feed them. ;)

Okay, it's best to leave behind the notion of how things work in real life, because this is a game, where things need to be simplified for the simulation to work on the average computer system and also be fun for players to interact with.

Pastures are "processors" - meaning they turn a raw material (in this case crops) into a different resource (animal products). As they go through a supply of the raw material, they will send out a request for more. If there's a building in the city able to respond to this need, they will send out a delivery truck. If there aren't any buildings available in the city to respond, then a truck will import from the edge of the map. And if no truck arrives with new raw material before the building runs out, it will complain about not enough resources.

Where can I check this? I mean where does it say what they are or are not getting?

If you select the pasture and hover over the "Crops" part, it will show you how much is left.
