The breeding in minecraft is simple. Just grab two sheep, give'em wheat, and poof you got a baby. Breeding needs to be more realistic. First off, You have to get genders. The gender of an animal can be found by crafting a magnifying glass.
You'd craft it like this:
Right click on an animal to find out it's gender. If you feed two male animals wheat, nothing will happen, but if you breed two animals of the opposite gender, they will mate. I'm hoping you know how the natural order goes.
For chickens how ever, there needs to be fixing. There needs to be roosters AND chickens. That way you have to mate a rooster with a chicken. AND there needs to be eggs not a baby chick that randomly appears after you make them.
To find a gender difference in cows how ever is just checking if they have an udder or not. Or milkable or not.
Another feature in breeding should be genetics. Lets say You breed a white sheep with a black sheep. In minecraft currently you will get either a white sheep or a black sheep. There needs to be a 10% chance of getting a genetic mutation. Therefore, if you breed a white and black sheep, you might get a grey sheep.
One more thing. Coloring a sheep will not change it's genetics, it will just make it to where it's a white sheep when it breeds.

This seems to be adding too much complexity to a concept that doesn't need it. I mean, Minecraft's goal was never realism. You punch wood to start out FFS! =P
That said, this would be an excellent mod idea. xD

I should've said they mechanics of gender: In each spawn of animals (either its a spawn from 1-7) the group will be 40% females and 60% males.
And if you really simplified what i said you'd find it not incredibly complicated.
Animals should have genders. You can find the genders out with a magnifying glass. you can only breed separate genders.
Chickens and cows will have features on their bodies to help identify their gender.
Sheep can have a 10% chance of having a genetic mutation from mating.
