Trader's Animals Eat Purchased Grain

[Sjaa]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or mod issue, as I've only seen it once, but has anyone purchased vegetables from a trader caravan during the winter (so there's no food on the map), and the second it appears on the ground after completing the trade, the trade caravan's buffaloes start eating it?
I lost about 1/4 of my purchase before I could wake all my guys up and prioritize hauling it to the stockpiles.

Muffalo Hungry. Food Appears. Muffalo Eats.

Yeah :\

Sometime trader decide to gather around on the middle of my field of healroot. I spot some root got ate by the hungry muffy too.

[Shurp]

Did the Trading Spot mod get updated to 1.0?  That will solve the problem of muffalo eating your healroot.

But as for them eating your recent purchases, well, I guess that's just WAD. Imagine it from the trader's perspective.  "I have these sacks of grain which I keep tied to my animals' backs so they can't eat them... oh, but he paid for them, well, now it's not my problem.  And now my animals are fed! Ha ha ha!"

Traders wonder why I let them fight mad animals and raiders on my behalf...

Caravans animals essentially follow the same hunger logic as a wild animal, i.e. they will eat any suitable food they can path to when they get hungry. I have yet to find a way to deal with this, as you can't always predict where a caravan will hang out while they're visiting.
