Breeding

Breeding is an in-game mechanic that allows fed animals to breed with one another to make baby animals. Animals (except Wolves, Chickens, and Pigs) will follow a player holding Wheat if the player looks at the Mob, and they will continue following the player until it is out of range, fed Wheat, or the player stops holding the Wheat. They may only breed once per Wheat given, as long as they are not following their own offspring. Chickens breed using wheat seed rather than wheat. Tamed wolves can be bred by feeding them any kind of meat (including Rotten Flesh). Pigs, as of TU 14, use carrots.
