Maybe I am doing something wrong here, but I have a boar pen. There are a dozen pigs in there. I find it irritating that I have to throw down carrots for them to eat and when I come back to check up on them, it just goes into my inventory.

Just throwing a stack of 50 carrots on the ground like its discarded seems silly.

Is there a better way to do things?

Here's an idea, don't walk over the carrots after you throw them on the ground.
