Basic Info.
Cows are a must have animal in this game. At least I belive so. Once full grown they provide you with milk every single day. Granted you feed them and take care of them. You get cows from Yodel Ranch. Talk to Barley. To feed them, just put on thing of fodder in their feed boxes daily. You can get fodder by either cutting the grass you buy at the Grocery Store and grow, or you can buy it from Yodel ranch. I personally recommend growing and cutting it yourself. It is much cheaper in the long run. I believe you can start out being able to hold ten cows in your barn. Once you get the extension I'm not sure if you're able to put more in, or if you have to buy sheep. If someone knows, Email Me! Thanks!

Heart Info. 4 Cows.
To raise your cows hearts, just feed it, talk to it and brush it every day. Some say it helps to put your cows out on sunny days, but I don't think it really does anything. Your cows will lose hearts when you forget to feed them and/or if you hit them with your sickle/hoe/hammer/axe. Yeah, so here's some detailed information for you to use :)

0 heart(s)= No Milk, Miserable, Could get/be sick.
1 heart(s)= Small Milk, Not very happy.
2 heart(s)= Small Milk, Kind of happy.
3 heart(s)= Small Milk Quite happpy
4 heart(s)= Small/Med. Milk, Very happy.
5 heart(s)= Med. Milk, Reasonably happy
6 heart(s)= Med. Milk, Pretty happy
7 heart(s)= Med. Milk, Really Happy
8 heart(s)= Med. Milk, Extremely happy.
9 heart(s)= Med./Large Milk, Insanely happy
10 heart(s)= Large Milk, In Absolute Bliss

Cow Festival
Alright, here's the details about the wonderful Cow Festival. It is in summer on the 20th. The day before you will have to choose a cow to enter the festival. Be sure to enter the best cow. To win, choose the cow that has ten hearts and gives large milk. You will be unable to enter cows that are sick or preganant, so be careful when choosing. Well, that's about it. On the 20th, go to Yodel Ranch for the Cow judging. If your cow wins, it will give gold milk! So, good luck!

Breeding Info.
To breed your cows you must buy the breeding potion, otherwise known as Cow Miracle Potion for $3,000. your cow will be born...some time after. If anyone knows how long it takes for a cow to be born, e-mail me with the button at the bottom of this page. Thanx!

Extras.
Cows enjoy being in the sun too :) So, if you want to, push them out of the barn on sunny days. I don't know if it makes a difference. I personally find it annoying 'cause the darn cows move so slow. I wouldn't put pregnant cows outside because you'll spend all your time trying to get them back into the barn.
