Thanks, i started yesterday and still try to figure out everything. I didn't knew that non-starter cows give less milk, so now i need to rethink my early game investment strategy.
I just came across your videos and they are so helpful! Thank you so much! You have saved me lots of time and guess work with the cows. So excited for the children guide video!
This is perfect, I was coming up to the end of my first year wondering if I should buy a star bull to try and breed it with my normal/brown cow to try & get a star cow. I was looking all over for what the odds would be on the breeding, and today this video pops up. Now I think I'm gonna save scum a little and save myself a bit of cash! As a side note, it might be kind of cool to have a guide for the yearly forage-able items and their locations? Having mushrooms and wild herbs is super important to cooking after all.
Looking forward to the kid video! Raising a kid stressed me out so much when I played the original lol. I kept second guessing myself. Something I'd like to see is a guide to what the marriage candidates are like after marriage. I couldn't even find anything saying what color bedspread each spouse brings with them. This would of course take a long time to do with all the spouses, but maybe shorter videos on individual spouses? I would be be grateful. Like, listen, I'm an adult now! It's not just about who I find appealing, but who I can share a life with! Like, how well suited are they for the life I can give them? Celia will be overjoyed, but wouldn't Lumina have trouble adjusting? Does Rock step up at all, with anything? I want to know! 😭
i can tell you Matthew brings a nice minty green bedspread lmao & that’s all i know. he seems very sweet after marriage but i am /just/ starting year 2/second chapter. so fun tho
Which animal is better to keep on the farm to make alot of cash quickly? The cow or the sheep? I have a regular cow & marble cow with 2 sheep. Would like to upgrade the barn house for more cows & sheep. Been going to the mine each day to dig up fossils, diamonds etc. 🤷♀️✌️
A cow is a LOT more work, as you have to milk it twice a day… however they make you more money than sheep. Sheep are great if you are lazy/don’t want to focus too much on the animals, but cows will definitely net you more money if you are willing to put the work in. This is true before you get the milk processing room and even more true after.
i play this game since the PS2 version, and im just started this game about 12 hours in, ongoing to winter. still a lot stuff i dont know like this stuff. thanks mate! Tips : Cook normal milk to milk soup, the price is 150 (normal milk price is about 100 i think)
The grass will spread, but don’t let your cows eat it all, haha. You should put down the fertilizer you get in the beginning down right away so you have enough grass to start spreading. You might still need a bit more fertilizer. Once it starts spreading though it keeps going and going, haha.
@@kentvivo4854 you won’t have to use fertilizer forever. If you buy 10 fertilizer on the first day and plant them all, you’ll probably never need to plant grass again
That's because it's the best lazy way to make money! Cows definitely make you a bit more money, but in terms of effort to income? Sheep win big time, haha.
@@elithegaymer I'm definitely on your side lol I will say though, this remake makes farming/ranching a lot easier to manage timewise so I don't feel nearly as stressed out as the first version.
This was SO helpful. I've been looking everywhere for this cheese/butter info Question for you. Should I buy the barn expansion first or the processing room first?
I really like this video! I feel the information is presented in a lovely teaching style where things are brought back to the front enough time that someone can really remember them :3 it’s like being in a little SoS:AWL classroom, hehe. I came to the same conclusion about the milk processing room! Since you can buy a star cow from year one and a star cow will pay herself off relatively quickly, I think there’s just no reason to ever buy the milk processing room for the sake of profits. ((I know a lot of people save up for a Star Bull and then breed a Star Cow from their starter cow, but just saving up the extra 25k ends up being *ludicrously* more profitable and not hard to do with sheep wool)). I probably won’t buy the milk processing room until I want the goddess tools, since one of those requests want SS butter.
It’s funny that you say that! I was a teacher for ten years. Sometimes when I am making a TH-cam video I get that same feeling I did as when I would turn on my teaching mode in the classroom, haha.
there a famous glitch(at this point i don't know if it's glitch or it's actually features) of easy s quality tree in the past game and somehow it's still exist in the remake( i just try it yesterday, after i finally reach year 2), mix b tree seed(make sure it's in first slot) and a s quality seed(whatever anything work as long is S quality, the most easy way is mix a seed with up quality flower) and vinnie will spit out S quality version of the tree seed. usually you can't mix a tree seed with flower, so the only way is using fertilizer, but it's take to long and to many fertilizer. Also it's don't need to be a seed the crops works too. if you already have seed maker getting many s seed tree is easy. oh yeah it's work to with tree that already mixed(ex. grorange) too as long its in first slot. And remember there a very very small chance it failed. i'm playing switch version(i advice save before you try this trick) and sorry this really out of video topic
No, I used save and reload in my game RIGHT before my cow's birth to alter the breed and gender. So basically it is decided the moment in the event where the baby is born. (I've tried out this trick thrice already).
@@eilz1495 does this happen the first thing in the morning? That’d mean i could just reload to the previous night to get the gender and breed i want, right?
My affection levels seem to be stuck for my animals. I’ve been petting, brushing, milking, and talking twice a day but the affection won’t go up anymore.
@@winter2780 I just kept doing the same thing and eventually they started going up. Seems like it takes a lot more to move up at the higher levels of affection.
Thank you so much for this video. It helps a ton. If you figured out the mechanic for what causes failed crop mixes that do blend sometimes with Vinnie could you do a video about that? I know a video for all the different generation blends would be too long and waaay too much to ask since there are a lot and it is hard to figure out exactly how many there are. Just making the blending failures happen less often would be awesome to know. I love your videos, by the way. They are so helpful and enjoyable
So this is something I'd just like to know before I breed my cows, but how close to the birth will my cow still give milk? They're my main source of income with the milk soup in my first year.
These guides have been so helpful fot me starting off. Subscribed! I was wondering if you or anyone else has any advice about sleeping. How necessary is it in this game? I've found that food seems to restore energy more than sleeping does, so I'm trying to mske sense of it all. Thanks!
I’m doing my second playthrough in the NA version now and I’m trying to be a lot more efficient this time haha so this guide is appreciated. do you know if the type of cow is determined when they breed initially or when the cutscene plays? I might end up testing it myself but like you said the amount of time before the cow gives birth is kind of random so it might be hard for me to make a save before the birth.
UPDATE: I just tested this and yes, the cow’s type and gender is determined at the start of the cutscene, so you could definitely save scum just before the cow’s birth if you don’t get the one you want.!
Hi! I just found your channel. Are you going to make a video like this for the sheep? I'm having a hard time getting the "quality wool" for some reason, it's always golden.
When you say "talk to takakura and he'll breed the cows" is there something I'm missing? I have normal cow and star bull and all takakura wants to talk about is advice on random topics that I don't need help on lol. Do I need to look at the order from and order breeding?
Some quick tips I feel go with this: When you first start, you should cook your milk into Milky Soup. B quality milk only sells for 100, but Milky Soup sells for 150. Since I'm talking about the start of the game, you don't yet have access to the processing shed or better quality yet. As a double benefit, Milky Soup is good for eating as well, and cooking anything will improve your cooking level for later years to eventually get better stuff. I haven't tested this myself, but I saw somewhere that giving Mama's Milk to a calf actually raises its friendship faster. So it's to help get a headstart on that so you can get better quality milk from them faster. Since it was mentioned about how breeding works, this gives a useful option early on. Since bulls cost less, buy a Star Bull and breed your other cows with it. You should be able to save scum to ensure it will produce a Star Cow, letting you get one cheaper. 25,000 for the Bull, and 3,500 for the breeding (assuming you don't wait for it to naturally happen), instead of 50,000 for the Cow. It will take some time, though, so it's a bit of a trade off. However, once you have that Bull, you can repeat the process until you have all of the Star Cows you want, then sell the Bull, or keep it to breed and sell cows for additional profit.
Super helpful video you changed the order I was gonna do things in. Quick question, you can't seem to push individual animals outside the barn anymore? How can I get my horse outside on a rainy day without it going back in when I ring the bell? thanks
You can’t take out individual animals EXCEPT for the horse. Put all the animals in the barn and then use your whistle. Your horse will pop out of the barn, haha.
Haha, first, your cow will get visibly dirty if you don’t brush it. Second, it’s health will go down if it’s not fed twice a day or it’s left in the rain.
so... just to clarify after speedrun reading comment... we don't need to breed em in order to get milk right? it's not like the old game where she stop giving milk if we not breed her aside from that, if we want to breed, but the barn is full, is it still possible? since we got no space for the calf or it automatically sold after the birth? thx for the nice video , keep it up man 🙂
I started this game just a few days ago and love it already! I remember as a kid I would play it on my dad’s GameCube so I’m glad to see a revamped version. I was wondering what your recommendation would be for how to utilize all of the barn space? Like how many normal, star, marble, and brown cows should I have? I want to get one of each. And how many sheep do you recommend? I was thinking 2 female cows from each type, then 1 male cow from each, and then 4 sheep but I’d love to hear your input!
I love all these guides before I start playing! I wonder if we'll get the guide book that Japan got. I sure hope so! (Edited to add question) How many cows total can you have?
@@elithegaymerAhh you replied before I could make my edit! Just in case you end up not seeing it I'll ask here as well. How many cows can you have? I feel like I'd want a female of each and then a male star cow.
Kind of random, but do you think you could make a video on how to manage everything from year 2 onward? I feel like there’s not enough time to do everything beyond farming..
Thanks for taking the time away from the game to watch and comment, haha. I learned a lot of things as I was making this video and was very excited to share.
I featured your question in my newest video! You need to build. the pond AND have two spaces in your coop before the event will trigger: th-cam.com/video/wq6VxhSVqps/w-d-xo.html
Would breeding for profit make much sense? I keep getting male chickens and make 250g from them instead of selling the 150g fertilised egg, but a bull will take up space that a female that produces milk everyday would give which sounds like it'd be more than the amount you'd get from selling an adult cow you raised.
Hey eli may i request a video on the difference between fodder and fodder+ or at least a quick explanation of the difference between the two? I just heard another youtuber mention it and i dont know the difference since i havent stsrted playing yet
In spring year 1 you can turn your B rank milk, worth 100g into Milky Soup in the kitchen, by just cooking it, it'll be worth 150g each, as good as S Rank milk.
I think even tho it's necessary to grow grass for the animals it just makes the field look nicer to. I'm so excited to get this game sometime this week I've never played the switch before either might take me a hot minute to figure it out 😂. I'm torn between marry Cody or Matthew but most likely Cody I'm very artistic myself and want my child to have that creative side. I never wanted to marry rock he can be a hot mess at times lmao 🤣
@@elithegaymer thank you I'm definitely very excited for winds of anthos the idea being able to go to other villages is so cool. I will be friend all the villagers something I didn't do when I first played it back in 2004.
If I have any questions I'll definitely come into the comment section and ask you thank you for your content btw some videos I'll come back to if I need some help figuring some things out
I would love a chicken and bird guide…. Is it just me or do chickens lay their eggs at all times of the day? I tired to reset them by not collecting…. But they lay eggs at all times of the day and places…. And could you do a hybrid crop guide?
@@elithegaymer that I know, but I'm trying to crossbreed a star cow with a regular cow... How? (also, APPRECIATE that you replied so soon. Honestly didn't expect it)
All I know is, there is a section in the strategy guide that says that your first cow is a bit special. Not sure if they are just saying that because the game actually treats it differently (slightly better chance for good RNG?) or if they’re just saying it’s “special” because it’s your first cow, haha.
In year 1 I was investing in Star Bull (25k) for breeding 2 of my normal cows. U can save the game before the laboring scene happened , and reload it until u get a star cow. Now in early year 2 I already got 2 female star cow (50k/each) lol
@elithegaymer haha okay thank you! I'm just so used to the og model, I experienced my cow to stop producing after 40 days. do you think it's be more beneficial to buy a male or female cow if I wanted more special types on my farm? (I'm not really into just renting a bull)
I talk about it in this video. Basically, it just takes a long time of being consistently good to it. FAQ About SoS AWL - Tips & Feedback Based on Your Comments! th-cam.com/video/wq6VxhSVqps/w-d-xo.html
I bought a marble bull for free breeding, if its a male i'll wait untill thiley're fully grown and sell them, if it's a female i'll keep her for the milk. And hope it's a different kind of calf
That’s normal. A cow that just gave birth gets a boost to how many it gives you, so it gives 4 in your first Spring (3 because spring, +1 for recently giving birth). In summer, it drops to 2 at a time because 2 is the normal amount for summer and it has not given birth recently anymore so no bonus.
@@elithegaymer The diagram said 6 and 4 so i guess i'm a bit confused. how do you get the max number 6? 3 for spring, +2 for show window after birth and that's only 5?
@@STJebus It’s 6 per day, 3 at a time. If you cow has recently given birth, it’s +1 or +2 per milking, so the absolute most that you can get from one milking is 5 ( ten bottles of milk per day).
I found a crop that looks like a donut and it costs like 1,000 g for one. I can't really rmb what crops to put together but it's the one that's made out of two hybrids.
Im kinda lost with money making on this game 🙃 I have 17k in autum of the first year... did you think it's worth to invest in a male star cow and try to breed it to get a female or its very difficult to get and not worth the time and money? time goes too fast and we have lots of things to do in one day like fishing... digging... foraging and gifts... animals...im almost at the second year and i didnt even got to watch all Rock cutscenes... Just one about the turtle
Your animal's gender is determined at birth and I haven't confirmed yet but I think it applies for breed too. So you can reload a save if your calf isn't born as a Female Star.
@@FlamingOcelot Yes, you think its worth the investment to buy a star cow and try this or its better to save the money and buy something bigger like 150k gold for the cheese/butter machine
B-Grade Star Milk sells for more than S-Grade Butter/Cheese. So in my opinion getting a Star Cow is a great early investment compared to the HUGE investment for the processing room that doesn't even pay out as well.
When do u milk to get milk twice a day. Mine only give me milk once a day. Everytime i try to milk more than once a day, they get mad and dont give any.
Hey, try to milk your cow first thing in morning and then wait until late afternoon/night for the second time. There has to be (about) 12 hours in between the milkings.
I bought myself a Star Bull and I will bread it with my starting cow Hopefully it'll give me a Star Cow and any bulls once they're grown they should sell for a decent profit so it's pretty much a passive income in the fall and winter than during Spring and summer I wouldn't recommend breading the Cows just for the milk since those are the seasons it'll give its max amount of milk and buy that time you reach year two you should have money to buy a female star cow or you got lucky in the first year and got one through breading. Also, sheep are great for a huge income so In my opinion Star Cows and the Cow you start to keep its milk for processing for cooking/request you'll want to complete. then once you upgrade the barn I'd suggest buying sheep because their basic wool sells for $3,000 right off the back and possibly save a slot for a goat for any requests involving goat products.
It’s funny, but you aren’t even the only person I have watched talk about this game who has messed up with the sex of the animals. 😂 the other video also talked about chickens…😅
I know its a cow video and I love the video. But how is no one talking about the gold wool for 6k. I got both my sheep to give gold wool by second time from buying super easy im about to have 12 sheep in here maken 72k every one round to easy. Only thing is they are annoying. And ill probably keep a cow for two for fun.
I did the math and while sheep are MUCH easier to raise, cows give you much more money. Even comparing a sheep to a normal cow, a sheep can only give you 6000 G every 5 days. That’s 1,200 per day. A maxed out normal cow can get you 6 x 275 = 1,650 a day, and it’s a steady income daily. But yeah, you can see my barn in this video… I have a few cows and a ton of sheep. Sheep are definitely better when it comes to reward for amount of effort.
@elithegaymer Actually ya I did the math too in my head and I said wait it might be close so im glad you did the math. And also I did notice all the sheep! also keep in mind the cow isnt always producing 6 milk ether tho so it depends too on how often you are pregnant.
@elithegaymer I just wanted to seriously say thank you for making this video, I was having some trouble finding info on Google, and your video clarified and made it easily digestible.
I know someone else said it, but your voice is so relaxing. Please start making audiobooks.
Hahaha I second this! I would 100% listen to any audio book he'd make!

You do need a special rod. Fish 500 times and Van will sell you the best fishing rod (after you have bought each upgrade one at a time).

It will take some time, though, so it's a bit of a trade off. However, once you have that Bull, you can repeat the process until you have all of the Star Cows you want, then sell the Bull, or keep it to breed and sell cows for additional profit.
Super helpful video you changed the order I was gonna do things in.
Quick question, you can't seem to push individual animals outside the barn anymore? How can I get my horse outside on a rainy day without it going back in when I ring the bell? thanks
You can’t take out individual animals EXCEPT for the horse. Put all the animals in the barn and then use your whistle. Your horse will pop out of the barn, haha.
@@elithegaymer thanks lol
This looks fun, and relaxing to play!
I'd sorta like a guide on how "Energy" and the stamina bar works! Like what is energy? How does it affect stamina? And what does the ZZ symbol mean?
Is it more profitable to turn goat milk into milky soup or leave it goat milk?
Thank you for all the guides you're posting!!! ❤
1:08 what does it mean by "don't let this happen"
OMG that a lot of knowledge for me to absorb about cows 😂
Haha, first, your cow will get visibly dirty if you don’t brush it. Second, it’s health will go down if it’s not fed twice a day or it’s left in the rain.
Your videos are a life saver! 💜☺️ Do you have a video regarding growing trees?
so... just to clarify after speedrun reading comment...
we don't need to breed em in order to get milk right?
it's not like the old game where she stop giving milk if we not breed her
aside from that, if we want to breed, but the barn is full, is it still possible? since we got no space for the calf
or it automatically sold after the birth?
thx for the nice video , keep it up man 🙂
You don’t need to breed them to have them give milk. Sorry, I talked about that in another video but not this one.
And yeah, you can’t get a cow pregnant if your barn is full.
I was worndering is you can make a video for hybrid crops as I find it confushing
Really great info! Have to admit I laughed when I saw you'd posted a 10 min video on cows, haha
Hello Eli can i ask you about your daily in this game beside farming and feed your animals ?
Any info on goats and if I should be making cheese or butter or leaving it as is???
Thanks! I had no idea you could milk them twice a day.
I started this game just a few days ago and love it already! I remember as a kid I would play it on my dad’s GameCube so I’m glad to see a revamped version. I was wondering what your recommendation would be for how to utilize all of the barn space? Like how many normal, star, marble, and brown cows should I have? I want to get one of each. And how many sheep do you recommend? I was thinking 2 female cows from each type, then 1 male cow from each, and then 4 sheep but I’d love to hear your input!
Also there upgrade for the barn as well I think it holds 16 animals.
Where did u get the cow milker ?
I love all these guides before I start playing! I wonder if we'll get the guide book that Japan got. I sure hope so! (Edited to add question) How many cows total can you have?
I hope they release an English version, too. It has never before seen art and everything!
@@elithegaymerAhh you replied before I could make my edit! Just in case you end up not seeing it I'll ask here as well. How many cows can you have? I feel like I'd want a female of each and then a male star cow.
@@ginabobina101 You can have 8 initially, and then with the expansion you can have 16 barn animals in total. That’s for cows, sheep, and goats.
Ah I see, thanks! Maybe one of each cow is too many then? Hmm not sure now! Decisions, decisions!
Kind of random, but do you think you could make a video on how to manage everything from year 2 onward? I feel like there’s not enough time to do everything beyond farming..
Just wanna ask if you know what the 1M teddy bear in Chapter 3 do..?? Is it worth to buy that..
You get to see an extra special cutscene and it’s a decoration in your home.
Keep up the good work! I learned a lot!
Very helpful video!! I can't stop playing the game lmao 😂❤
Thanks for taking the time away from the game to watch and comment, haha. I learned a lot of things as I was making this video and was very excited to share.
hmm i bought the duck pond but no ducks. when do you unlock them? thanks for what you are doing!
I featured your question in my newest video! You need to build. the pond AND have two spaces in your coop before the event will trigger: th-cam.com/video/wq6VxhSVqps/w-d-xo.html
Would breeding for profit make much sense?
I keep getting male chickens and make 250g from them instead of selling the 150g fertilised egg,
but a bull will take up space that a female that produces milk everyday would give which sounds like it'd be more than the amount you'd get from selling an adult cow you raised.
hey Eli! appreciate if you can also explain the benefit of fodder+. does it accelerates cow's affection buildup? how exactly?
What about if your cow’s health is low despite feeding, brushing etc? I’m new-ish to the game and there seems to be a problem with my first cow.
Hey eli may i request a video on the difference between fodder and fodder+ or at least a quick explanation of the difference between the two? I just heard another youtuber mention it and i dont know the difference since i havent stsrted playing yet
In spring year 1 you can turn your B rank milk, worth 100g into Milky Soup in the kitchen, by just cooking it, it'll be worth 150g each, as good as S Rank milk.
I have a cow and it's like COVERED in dirt, is there a way to fix that?
You need to buy a brush from Van! He sells them for 1000 gold. Then you can brush your animals everyday.
@@elithegaymer thank you!!
OMG I've been playing this for months and have been losing so much money not paying attention to the star cow milk price
I think even tho it's necessary to grow grass for the animals it just makes the field look nicer to. I'm so excited to get this game sometime this week I've never played the switch before either might take me a hot minute to figure it out 😂. I'm torn between marry Cody or Matthew but most likely Cody I'm very artistic myself and want my child to have that creative side. I never wanted to marry rock he can be a hot mess at times lmao 🤣
I hope you enjoy the game when you get it! Yeah, I like Cody, Gustafa, and Matthew... Rock... Some of his lines are hilarious at least.
@@elithegaymer thank you I'm definitely very excited for winds of anthos the idea being able to go to other villages is so cool. I will be friend all the villagers something I didn't do when I first played it back in 2004.
If I have any questions I'll definitely come into the comment section and ask you thank you for your content btw some videos I'll come back to if I need some help figuring some things out
Do you have a duck guide?
I would love a chicken and bird guide…. Is it just me or do chickens lay their eggs at all times of the day? I tired to reset them by not collecting…. But they lay eggs at all times of the day and places….
And could you do a hybrid crop guide?
what is the percentage of male to female I just tried like 20 times for a female Star Cow and I got 8 Star Bulls and 12 normal Bulls.
perfect! exactly the guide i needed!
Does your cow still get depressed if you sell the babies like the OG?
Hello there
I know I'm hella late, but I just wanna ask...
How do you talk to Takakura to breed the cows??
Hello! It’s also done in the book that you buy the cows (and other animals) in.
@@elithegaymer that I know, but I'm trying to crossbreed a star cow with a regular cow... How?
(also, APPRECIATE that you replied so soon. Honestly didn't expect it)
@@granchimichanga4990 Wait, do you have male and female ones? If so, there is an option for breeding in the ledger.
@@elithegaymer
I have a male star cow, and fem regular cow...
It's possible to breed em and get a star cow female right?
@@granchimichanga4990 yes, you can get a star cow as long as one of the parents is a star.
A foraging guide!
Takakura tells you during his tour of the farm that your starter cow just gave birth recently. Isn't that what makes it "special"?
All I know is, there is a section in the strategy guide that says that your first cow is a bit special. Not sure if they are just saying that because the game actually treats it differently (slightly better chance for good RNG?) or if they’re just saying it’s “special” because it’s your first cow, haha.
When does the cow stop giving milk?
Never. The cows in this game never stop giving milk.
@@elithegaymer Many thanks
In year 1 I was investing in Star Bull (25k) for breeding 2 of my normal cows. U can save the game before the laboring scene happened , and reload it until u get a star cow. Now in early year 2 I already got 2 female star cow (50k/each) lol
That’s probably a really good strategy! Star cows are great money makers.
@@elithegaymer is it any chance you get star cow bull breader in year 1 ? or you must buy star cow to get more star cow
@@adiprabowo1784 You only need 25K. It’s not too hard to do if you work hard.
Thank you !
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
what is the advantage to breeding if they continue to produce milk? sorry I'm slow
You get a free cow, they give additional milk per milking for a while, and it is very cute to feed your baby calf Mama’s milk!
@elithegaymer haha okay thank you! I'm just so used to the og model, I experienced my cow to stop producing after 40 days. do you think it's be more beneficial to buy a male or female cow if I wanted more special types on my farm? (I'm not really into just renting a bull)
Yeah I really need the kids video😮
Can you leave cows outside overnight?
You can. As long as it doesn’t rain, their health/happiness will not drop. So if it’s fully sunny, you can just leave them outside.
So what should I do to increase my cow health 😢please answer 💔

@@elithegaymer tysm😊
i played the pc version and what's overwhelming about this game was the hybrid seeds
I got myself a star bull as soon as I could hava
I bought a marble bull for free breeding, if its a male i'll wait untill thiley're fully grown and sell them, if it's a female i'll keep her for the milk. And hope it's a different kind of calf
You can also turn goat milk into cheese and butter too
folder+ dont do anything?
my first cow only gave me 4 in the spring and is now only giving me 2 milk in the summer? She's full health and 7 hearts. Any ideas?
That’s normal. A cow that just gave birth gets a boost to how many it gives you, so it gives 4 in your first Spring (3 because spring, +1 for recently giving birth). In summer, it drops to 2 at a time because 2 is the normal amount for summer and it has not given birth recently anymore so no bonus.
@@elithegaymer The diagram said 6 and 4 so i guess i'm a bit confused. how do you get the max number 6? 3 for spring, +2 for show window after birth and that's only 5?
@@STJebus It’s 6 per day, 3 at a time. If you cow has recently given birth, it’s +1 or +2 per milking, so the absolute most that you can get from one milking is 5 ( ten bottles of milk per day).
@@elithegaymer Oh that makes more sense. Thanks!
I found a crop that looks like a donut and it costs like 1,000 g for one. I can't really rmb what crops to put together but it's the one that's made out of two hybrids.
Im kinda lost with money making on this game 🙃 I have 17k in autum of the first year... did you think it's worth to invest in a male star cow and try to breed it to get a female or its very difficult to get and not worth the time and money? time goes too fast and we have lots of things to do in one day like fishing... digging... foraging and gifts... animals...im almost at the second year and i didnt even got to watch all Rock cutscenes... Just one about the turtle
Your animal's gender is determined at birth and I haven't confirmed yet but I think it applies for breed too. So you can reload a save if your calf isn't born as a Female Star.
@@FlamingOcelot Yes, you think its worth the investment to buy a star cow and try this or its better to save the money and buy something bigger like 150k gold for the cheese/butter machine
B-Grade Star Milk sells for more than S-Grade Butter/Cheese. So in my opinion getting a Star Cow is a great early investment compared to the HUGE investment for the processing room that doesn't even pay out as well.
@@FlamingOcelot Thanks, that's all i need to hear ^^ I'll go with the star cow
What about Good Fodder
I wish they kept the milking room like they had is the og.
my cow glitched and got stuck in the milking room no matter what I did in the og so I never bought it again 😅 definitely don't miss it
When do u milk to get milk twice a day. Mine only give me milk once a day. Everytime i try to milk more than once a day, they get mad and dont give any.
Hey, try to milk your cow first thing in morning and then wait until late afternoon/night for the second time. There has to be (about) 12 hours in between the milkings.
@@elithegaymer thank you
Is cow stop giving milk when pregnant?
I featured your question in my newest video! She gives milk up until it she is put in the birthing area: th-cam.com/video/wq6VxhSVqps/w-d-xo.html
@@elithegaymer Thank you, really help me :)
Great video! But the proper term for mating is “Brown chicken, brown cow”
Say it out loud..
Haha, that is one of my friends’ favorite things to say.
I bought myself a Star Bull and I will bread it with my starting cow Hopefully it'll give me a Star Cow and any bulls once they're grown they should sell for a decent profit so it's pretty much a passive income in the fall and winter than during Spring and summer I wouldn't recommend breading the Cows just for the milk since those are the seasons it'll give its max amount of milk and buy that time you reach year two you should have money to buy a female star cow or you got lucky in the first year and got one through breading. Also, sheep are great for a huge income so In my opinion Star Cows and the Cow you start to keep its milk for processing for cooking/request you'll want to complete. then once you upgrade the barn I'd suggest buying sheep because their basic wool sells for $3,000 right off the back and possibly save a slot for a goat for any requests involving goat products.
I just started but my cow gives me 4 each milking so 8 a day
How do you raise cows' health??? 😅😅 it's so low idk why
I featured your question in my newest video! It's a long, hard, path, haha: th-cam.com/video/wq6VxhSVqps/w-d-xo.html
It’s funny, but you aren’t even the only person I have watched talk about this game who has messed up with the sex of the animals. 😂 the other video also talked about chickens…😅
I know its a cow video and I love the video. But how is no one talking about the gold wool for 6k. I got both my sheep to give gold wool by second time from buying super easy im about to have 12 sheep in here maken 72k every one round to easy. Only thing is they are annoying. And ill probably keep a cow for two for fun.
I did the math and while sheep are MUCH easier to raise, cows give you much more money. Even comparing a sheep to a normal cow, a sheep can only give you 6000 G every 5 days. That’s 1,200 per day. A maxed out normal cow can get you 6 x 275 = 1,650 a day, and it’s a steady income daily. But yeah, you can see my barn in this video… I have a few cows and a ton of sheep. Sheep are definitely better when it comes to reward for amount of effort.
@elithegaymer Actually ya I did the math too in my head and I said wait it might be close so im glad you did the math. And also I did notice all the sheep! also keep in mind the cow isnt always producing 6 milk ether tho so it depends too on how often you are pregnant.
@@jarrodturek9424 Yeah, but that’s compared to a normal cow. A Star Cow giving just S quality milk? Over 2,000 a day (even in Summer or winter).
talk ,snuggle, wash, milk.
Cow milk not have only food every day
why gustafo in your barn? or is he a husband that i forgot about?
Haha, yeah I married him in this save file. He will occasionally brush the barn animals to help out on the farm.
Does anyone know if you need to make your cow pregnant to continue getting milk?
You do not need to get them pregnant in order for them to give milk.
@@elithegaymer
Ok thanks
i love cowgirl
Do you like cows?
Moooooo
@elithegaymer I just wanted to seriously say thank you for making this video, I was having some trouble finding info on Google, and your video clarified and made it easily digestible.
@@hikiwa1 I'm glad that it was helpful to you! I hope you are enjoying the game!
