Keeping Cows Happy and Productive
In addition to friendship, cow mood also affects Large Milk production. To keep the mood high:
- Let cows outside to eat grass.
- Make sure they are fed daily.
- Pet them every day.
- Provide a heater in the barn during winter.
Cows that aren't fed won't produce any milk at all, so this is the most important factor.
