I always start medium.
I don't do anything to move them. Is that where it goes wrong? Do I have to go into the inventory of the trader to move them?
I have had success with my cows, thankfully.
But why did my chickens and pigs die?
When you buy livestock, you need to build a Pasture, assign a Herdsman to it and choose which kind of livestock will live there. The animals will eventually walk into the Pasture. If you have a Pasture that is partially filled and you buy more of the same livestock, they will join the others in that Pasture as long as there is room.
Livestock get old an die. If you leave them at the Trading Post too long, they will die. If you move them after they have been at the Trading Post a long time, they may be old and die before they have babies. So, it's a good idea to have an empty Pasture already built. If you don't know how big it should be, take a look at this calculator GO HERE. Like Styles mentions, it's not a bad idea to have a small (10x10?) Pasture where you can put your livestock while you build a bigger Pasture.
Hope that helps.
