It is best to create a pen to keep your animals in, so Fence is recommended.

Catching Animals

You can make animals follow you by holding their food item and moving close to them. They will follow you as long as your holding their food item. You can then lure them into your pen.

Breeding

To make 2 animals breed, right click on each of them while holding their food item. They will have hearts float from them when you have used the food item on them. Both animals will run towards each other and a new one will spawn. You can repeat the process as long as you have more food. Animals require time before they can breed again.
