For what it's worth: You don't need grass, silage AND mixed ration. If you're feeding them mixed ration, all you need to do is add straw for their bedding. You'll be at 100% then. I know, it's confusing because the game leads you to believe that you need to fill the whole list in your PDA for full productivity. Really like your vids Moose, informative and easy to follow!
I have to say that you are one of very few people that actually know what you are doing on the sim videos and you explain yourself perfectly.. Thank you very much,, I've subscribed to you.. Nifty,,,,
I only ever use Mixed rations and straw. Straw isn't eaten by the cows, it's just for bedding, but it's still needed to get to 100%. The ratio is straw = 10% + Mixed rations = 90%. The silage and grass are there simply to feed them something until you can produce mixed rations, but at a lower % efficiency. This works the same way in FS13 and FS15. It's all I've ever used and I get 100% efficiency all the time.
Moose, your videos are very well put together. You are informative and pleasant to listen to. Thank you for taking the time to pick up the ball where Giants dropped it.
You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I love any help you can give me!
@Princeton Donald Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Just one note, the straw is used as bedding, they don't actually eat it. Great video, I always thought it will be more complicated than this and since I spend 17k a day for fertilizer alone, maybe I should become a rancher. Great video Moose !
The straw is for bedding not feeding. The only time you feed the straw is in the mixed ration. As long as they have straw bedding and mixed ration their productivity will be at 100%.
I've had the PS3 version since it came out and I still haven't gotten cows yet. I keep forgetting what you have to do, plus the limits on how many machines you can have kind of kills that. But I am getting sheep.
I'm at 100% productivity:)! Mixed ration! In your feeding machine(2nd one) put a bucket of wheel loader(6400 silage), 1 bale of straw and 1 bale of hay and feed them with straw. With that you'll get 100%
Hi, a bit of a morbid question... but if i never feed my cows will they die... i just forget sometimes and i am a little worried as i just spent all my money on cow things Thanks
thanks for the vid. question though: I bought 5 cows and fed them the max amount of straw. Where can I store the remaining straw I have? Do I have to sell the rest of the straw?
+steel poet Straw comes from harvesting wheat & barley, hay comes from mowing grass and tedding it to dry faster. Straw = bedding material to produce manure, hay = grass for eating to produce milk. hth 8)
I have a question not about cows. When I mow my wheat In my fields when I get half way done mowing the wheat turns and grayish brown color does that mean my wheat is dead and how do I grow it more?
now I am stuck with the things on the red mixer to feed the cows and it does not take it for food when it says unload. Don't know what to do. Help me please. How do I get rid of the stuff from the mixer and start over again. I put 1 bail yellow grain, 1 bail from hay but it says i put 0 hay.
the official kramer, you have replies turned off. Statistics are on your PDA. Hit the arrows to scroll through or D-Pad on a console. Hope you see this and it helps!
Nope just to get ALL the money possible. If you're at 80%, for example, you'll only get 80% of the money possible (which is still worth it). Even if you feed them NOTHING you'll still be at 5%.
question please! i´m running a normal game, 100 cows, 100% productivity and at midnight they are only turning 10k. It seems quite low. They are producing 12k milk per day. Tips please! TY
I thought that feeding them mixture will get them to 100% productivity by itself, if i understood you correctly, in the case i ONLY feed them with the mixture then i'll only get 20%???? (i'm a noob just starting to play, so i'm not at the point of being able to get cows or anything, but i love to watch tuts..., btw yours are pretty good! Thanks)
I tested it extensively in FS2013 and feeding them ONLY mixed ration brought them to 90%. I'm assuming the same is true in 15 but haven't actually tested it yet.
my farm requires a TON of fertilizer as well as my green houses demanding a TON of manure. so my question... the more cows I have, the more manure I get?
I have two questions. Is this for the PS3? Does the milk get sold only when the tank is full? I don't seem to be getting money everyday from the milk that's in there.
You have a very nice voice. Secondly, what are you looking at for profits? How much money are these cows bringing in? Is it really profitable/worth the effort?
Moose2006LP ok thank you. I guess I should remove all the hay bales I stored in that area lol. I'm at 90% productivity, so I'll need to add straw and hay individually...
Cody De Zwarte yes, all you have to do is pick the grass up with the loading wagon after you mow it. No tedding required. Unload it into the section for grass and it will accept it as hay for the mixed ration. I stumbled across this by accident. Saves a lot of time!
Daniel Eddleston What exactly are you needing help with? It's all the same stuff just a different location. Also, my FS2013 video is on Westbridge, I think, but it was made years ago and is pretty terrible quality. Might help though.
Jennifer Behncke And silage. Then you have to give them straw for bedding. Eventually you'll want to mix the straw, hay, and silage into a mixer to get their productivity up to 100%.
I know you can do straw bales using the machine under Cow Feeding Technology in the shop (the only machine that's NOT a mixer) which I show in my FS2013 cow tutorial. However, it's 100x easier/faster to just use loose straw from a loading wagon. Otherwise I've never actually tried using hay or silage bales soooooo if it works let me know :) happy farming!
Eli Arsenault YES! :) I actually just did this in my latest FS15 Let's Play video and was shocked it worked so well. You can put it on the front of your tractor and cultivator/sower on the back and do both at the same time (make sure cultivator is selected when you hire the worker or the worker will turn around when the fertilizer is finished with its row instead of when the cultivator/sower is). Good luck!

@Princeton Donald It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Isaiah Reuben no problem :D
Lol i just wanted to find out what you do with milk and you gave me the answer. Keep up the good work doing tutorials.
Love the intro :) so simplistic and that jazzy tingle music feeling!
Just one note, the straw is used as bedding, they don't actually eat it. Great video, I always thought it will be more complicated than this and since I spend 17k a day for fertilizer alone, maybe I should become a rancher.

What are the grass hill for. There all over the map
omg you have helped me a lot with farm sim i play on Xbox 1 and PC and u explained how it all works ;-; thank you
It is under sowers and the green plower
Your tutorials are very informative, keep making more!! -subbed

Great vid. Thanks. # love playing farming sim 15.
Can you tell me what you use your sheds for? storing equipment, bales, etc.? And which ones you use for what?Thanks. Love your videos!
Hi, a bit of a morbid question... but if i never feed my cows will they die... i just forget sometimes and i am a little worried as i just spent all my money on cow things
Thanks
Nope but they'll be at 0% production while you're still paying the maintenance cost to keep them so you'll be losing money to have them.
Moose2006LP Thanks... I shall keep an eye on them more frequently :)
Moose2006LP i'm surprised im not bankrupt yet lol. i'm too lazy to take care of my cows
thanks for the vid. question though: I bought 5 cows and fed them the max amount of straw. Where can I store the remaining straw I have? Do I have to sell the rest of the straw?
All great stuff i have learnt a lot, can you show how to get the manure out and where can you store it on the USA map. Great work.
Check out my FS2013 Greenhouse video. It should all be in there!
Great job was confused with making straw and hay . Very informative
+steel poet Straw comes from harvesting wheat & barley, hay comes from mowing grass and tedding it to dry faster. Straw = bedding material to produce manure, hay = grass for eating to produce milk. hth 8)
I have a question not about cows. When I mow my wheat In my fields when I get half way done mowing the wheat turns and grayish brown color does that mean my wheat is dead and how do I grow it more?
Wow! So helpful bro! Definitely worth the sub! Thank you so much!
You know that you can attach a plower on the back of the liquid fertilizer
You just earned yourself a subscriber my friend well done!
Much appreciated!
now I am stuck with the things on the red mixer to feed the cows and it does not take it for food when it says unload. Don't know what to do. Help me please. How do I get rid of the stuff from the mixer and start over again.
I put 1 bail yellow grain, 1 bail from hay but it says i put 0 hay.
This was really helpfull, Thanks Moose
What is the mod you use to get the info about 'how many days the cows have food' ?
Moose you S.O.B. you have changed the game for me.. Thanks for all your vids on this game. Ill give you a like just for the hell of if.
I have a building in front of my cow barn so I can't add straw?? How can I get it to move??
Nice I like how smart he is about this game
Straw is bedding not food, but other than that great video!
Where is the milk truck housed at? It's not picking up my milk. I have the traffic mode shut off, does that have anything to do with it?
It shouldn't. Once a day you should just get a influx of cash from your cows whether you SEE the milk truck or not.
the official kramer, you have replies turned off. Statistics are on your PDA. Hit the arrows to scroll through or D-Pad on a console. Hope you see this and it helps!
Okay, i see and thanks for the tips moose, great video as allways!
Does it need to be 100%
To get money ?
Nope just to get ALL the money possible. If you're at 80%, for example, you'll only get 80% of the money possible (which is still worth it). Even if you feed them NOTHING you'll still be at 5%.
+Moose2006LP thx bro
Moose2006LP if you just do mixed rations it will automatically put the cows productivity up to 100% as long as them have a straw bed
question please! i´m running a normal game, 100 cows, 100% productivity and at midnight they are only turning 10k. It seems quite low. They are producing 12k milk per day. Tips please! TY
How you change time speed at 5:58?
how many cows can u have i currently have 1840
That's amazing. I've never tested the limit.
im trying to get rid of my money i have 28 million and its annoying
dayum u rich
Ok i got 100,000 cows total now
Travis Tharp god damn bro
I thought that feeding them mixture will get them to 100% productivity by itself, if i understood you correctly, in the case i ONLY feed them with the mixture then i'll only get 20%????

Moose2006LP
Okay, thank you then! I finished watching all your tutorials yesterday and they are pretty good and very informative! Thanks!
Moose, is the baling only used for the mixed ration or can you use it just to give them straw and/or grass?
+taustinlover I found out my answer, however is it where the more productivity there is the more money? New to the game
+taustinlover Yup!
my farm requires a TON of fertilizer as well as my green houses demanding a TON of manure. so my question... the more cows I have, the more manure I get?
Precisely!
I have two questions. Is this for the PS3? Does the milk get sold only when the tank is full? I don't seem to be getting money everyday from the milk that's in there.
It's for PS3 but no mods
how do you get the straw and hay?
Can i feed my cows water??
You have a very nice voice. Secondly, what are you looking at for profits? How much money are these cows bringing in? Is it really profitable/worth the effort?
+VitriolicGhost Thanks. And yes! Cows can and probably will be your biggest money maker (until you get the windmill placeable at least).
Where do you get water for the trlior tanks so you can fill up the water tank
for the mobile water tank you can find what look like little troughs with water in them
There one on the farm you start with. Opersit the silos.
Why is the Tedder turning my grass white?
Does the solid manure get placed in that holding area automatically, or do I have to do it manually?
+IPBullets Liquid and solid manure is collected automatically. Then it's there for you to use or not!
Moose2006LP ok thank you. I guess I should remove all the hay bales I stored in that area lol. I'm at 90% productivity, so I'll need to add straw and hay individually...
can I get the cows to 100% using mixed ration only or do I need to give them grass and silage separately aswell
+MrJDMmills Mixed ration only will get them to 90%. Add straw (bedding) for another 10. You do not need grass and silage if you have mixed ration.
sweet I have the straw for bedding do 100% it is then :)
what do i do with the extra straw
awesome it helped alot love ur series
were is the barn with straw
hi i got a problem i did all the steps you said now i got straw but i cant unload it at the cows
plz help me :)
you need to pick the thing of the ground
is there a way to feed cows using mixed rations without using bales?
+Cody De Zwarte Unfortunately no. I've tried sucking it up with the big mixer like you can do for silage but it didn't work.
Cody De Zwarte yes, all you have to do is pick the grass up with the loading wagon after you mow it. No tedding required. Unload it into the section for grass and it will accept it as hay for the mixed ration. I stumbled across this by accident. Saves a lot of time!
Kendal Leonhardt
does it work on xbox one
Can you do this video but on the west bridge hills map ?????
Daniel Eddleston What exactly are you needing help with? It's all the same stuff just a different location. Also, my FS2013 video is on Westbridge, I think, but it was made years ago and is pretty terrible quality. Might help though.
Thank you the fs13 helped
I. Can't find were my purchased items are
Would you know why my grass is burnt.
How many cows do u have
hi What mods do you use to get your statistics and all that?
There are no mods used in this video.
Great videos mate. thx for the good Tuts :D
Do you just feed them grass and hay?
Jennifer Behncke And silage. Then you have to give them straw for bedding. Eventually you'll want to mix the straw, hay, and silage into a mixer to get their productivity up to 100%.
On the case it says you can breed cows how do you do that ia there a way
There is not. You just have to buy them.
Where do you sell your manure
Eshton McClure
put it in green houses and you get money every hour
Schön das Video auf 10 minuten gestreckt.
Thanks for info. Nicely done.
How do I get the most solid manure?
More cows = more manure!
were is the barn
can you move the cows to other fields
Nope
ok thx
is it possible to collect milk by myself ??? please answer me, i want to do this job :(
Nope, milk production is automatic. All you control is productivity % by what you feed them.
How do you produce silage?
its me NELSON! Cut grass tedder it window it bail it
Hi Friend! I'm new to this game, What map is this? Thanks!
Bjormholm.
Can you feed cows grass bales?
Nate Wruck I don't think you can bale grass, just hay, straw, and silage.
I ment hay, but I mean bales, can you bring bales to the cows or does it have to be loose
I know you can do straw bales using the machine under Cow Feeding Technology in the shop (the only machine that's NOT a mixer) which I show in my FS2013 cow tutorial. However, it's 100x easier/faster to just use loose straw from a loading wagon. Otherwise I've never actually tried using hay or silage bales soooooo if it works let me know :) happy farming!
I have no idea where to leave straw on the USA map:(
Si Parkes Should be right across from your chickens (North).
Can you hire a worker to fertilize fields?
Eli Arsenault YES! :) I actually just did this in my latest FS15 Let's Play video and was shocked it worked so well. You can put it on the front of your tractor and cultivator/sower on the back and do both at the same time (make sure cultivator is selected when you hire the worker or the worker will turn around when the fertilizer is finished with its row instead of when the cultivator/sower is). Good luck!
+Moose2006LP Does the order in wich you fertilize and cultivate matter? And what do you put on the front of the tractor? The UF 1801?
How do you give them water?
You don't have to
How do u get the money for all dis
Do u have to have silage
+Evan Mullally The cows just won't produce as much without it. And you do need it for mixed ration if you plan on doing that.
Ya
Very informative. Thanks!
How take a milk?
How do you view statistics?
Hiddo kramer
press left analog stick (like a button) if on xbox one

How can I sell milk
Can You sell milk Or get money for It?
+The Ande It will be collected and sold automatically. All you must do is feed them and straw them to increase their productivity.
Thanks mate!
+Moose2006LP cows need water ?
All u need to do is give them hay for 10% and mixed rations for 90%.
Well explained... Thanks you
How to colect milk?
You don't. It'll automatically collect and give you the money. You'll see it add to your income in the top-right of your screen at midnight.
Thank
