Re: Cows Farming Simulator 22
Demetria Dobbin
In Farming Simulator, there are cows that do produce milk and cows that don't. Brown-Swiss and Holstein breeds are dairy cows. Angus and Limousin breeds do not and are only used for breeding. You sell them for a profit.
Before we tell you in detail what tools and equipment you need, let's take a look at the very basics for cow husbandry: feed and shelter. There are multiple options for how you can accommodate and feed your cattle. It depends on your financial situation and general farming operation.
The cow pasture only produces milk, barns can produce manure and slurry, too. A barn with feeding robot allows you to deliver only the ingredients for the feed - without the robot, you would have to mix the ingredients yourself with a mixer wagon. More on feeding below.
You have three options: For the cows to be fully (100%) productive and give as much milk as they can, you have to feed them Total Mixed Ration (TMR) - consisting of straw, hay, silage and mineral feed. You can buy all the ingredients at the dealership.
If you don't have all the ingredients (or the time), you can feed them with grass or hay. By feeding hay, they will still be 80% productive. By feeding them only grass, their productivity drops to 40%.
How to get water: If you keep the cows in a simple pasture, which requires you to provide water, you need to deliver it with a tank trailer. You get water by either filling it from a water tank that you can buy in the "container" tab of the construction menu, or you just reverse the tanker trailer attached to your tractor into water - a river or lake, for example. Water from a lake or river is free, tapping a tank container is not.
We chose the following equipment. We recommend starting with the cow barn, including a feeding robot. It's the most expensive barn, but you save the purchase costs for a mixer wagon as well as barrel - and therefore don't need to fill up the drinking trough. We buy the cows directly and have them delivered.
Tip! Barns have a liquid manure tank built in. Depending on how many cows you have and how much liquid manure they produce, you can buy a liquid manure tank in the "silo extension" tab of the construction menu to store even more. Place it near the barn.
You have to make a choice between Brown-Swiss and Holstein (milk) dairy cows or the Angus and Limousin breeds (breeding). You can also choose between very young cows, 12-month-old cattle or animals that are already 18 months old. The difference is that from 18 months onwards, the animals can give birth to offspring. You can find more details on this under "Breeding cattle."
When you buy cattle at the barn, you can have them delivered for a small fee. Alternatively, if you have bought a trailer, you can drive it to the cattle dealership and buy cattle on-site to transport them yourself.
If you built the pasture, you will have to provide water by delivering it to the pasture with a tank. You don't have to do this if you built a barn. To feed them, you should provide Total Mixed Ration (TMR) to gain 100% productivity. On the animal screen in the menu, you can track what your animals currently need.
You need to load the bales/pallets into the wagon. Grab them with a front loader and bale spike and dip them into the machine - you can see the wagon getting filled with the ingredient in liters. The machine then mixes everything into fodder. Deliver it to the barn! That's the approximate ratio to aim for with the Kuhn RA 142:
In order for cows to produce manure, they need straw. You fill it in at the respective point of the barn. However, the cow pasture is an exception. This is only used for cattle breeding and does not produce manure. If you have a cow shed, however, the manure will end up in the previously placed manure heap.
With cattle, you have multiple options: selling the animals themselves, the milk or even the manure. Milk can also be be processed into cheese, chocolate or other products by selling it to a production plant.
Tip! You might want to pay the cheese factory, chocolatier or the bakery a visit. If you provide them with all the necessary ingredients for products like chocolate, including the milk, you can make even more money compared to just selling the milk.
Selling the cattle is only worthwhile if you have bought the respective breeds, though. Manure and slurry can either be used to fertilize your fields to increase the yield of your crops, or you can sell it to the biogas plant. You might want to save money on fertilizer by using manure and slurry.
You can now take care of cattle. Take some time and start the next lesson when you are ready. And don't forget to check on your animals from time to time. Keep at it, and you'll be a top-notch virtual farmer in no time with Farming Simulator Academy!
Fantasy farming simulator Tales of Seikyu strays from the traditional formula of raising cows, chickens, and sheep, and instead puts you into a world of yokai legends. Of course, you'll still have the perks of cultivating crops and collecting resources from livestock, but there's a lot more than meets the eye once you start to explore. From humanoid otters to sentient slimes that help around the farm, there are many quirks to get stuck into and creatures to befriend in what is scheduled to be a refreshing addition to the farming simulator space.
Our new endeavor into the farming realm takes place in the town of Seikyu. At a surface level, the location seems pretty normal. It's got all the enchantment of a stunning fantasy village brimming with natural beauty and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. But, once you start looking a little closer, especially in the trailer for the game, you'll start to notice more oddities. Seikyu is home to the weird and wonderful, and it's our job to explore and befriend whatever we can.
The more critters you encounter, the more skills and abilities you unlock along the way. So not only will you be responsible for restoring and renovating a derelict farmland, you will also be tasked with learning about the abundant world of folklore around you. Tales of Seikyu is home to 30 characters with in-depth storylines that unfold as you develop relationships with them, spilling secrets about the world and assisting you on your adventure.
To make exploring all the more exciting, you'll also have the ability to shape-shift, which you gain through magical masks rewarded for puzzle-solving. As a crow tengu, you'll be free to soar through the skies and zip around quickly, or scale cliff faces as a nimble dryad. Gone is the need for horses as a faster way to get around the map, and these two skills appear to be just a taste of what we will be able to unlock the further we delve into Seikyu.
We've only seen a brief example of these skills in action, as shown in the most recent trailer released for Tales of Seikyu. As we get closer to a possible release, we're expecting more details on these skills and possibly a spotlight on what other skills we can unlock. For now, though, these modes of traversal are pretty exciting for those of us who have exhausted ourselves running around on-foot in the vast majority of farming simulators.
But with all that said, Tales of Seikyu currently only has a release window of 2024, so sadly we still have a little while to go before we can delve into the world of farming with yokai. But, you can wishlist the game on Steam now to keep up to date with any future updates or trailers that expose more of what is to come from the enchanting adventure that awaits.
This page of the guide will detail how to house, care for and expand the animal-based corner of your farming empire. Whilst available from the start, you will typically begin your journey with animals deeper into the game. Here you will find breakdowns of what each animal requires, the right conditions for breeding, and the benefits available for having pristine condition livestock at your disposal.
Bees are by far the easiest animals to have on your farm. All that is required is a hive to be built, and a space for pallets of honey to be placed. Other than that, bees require no care or maintenance.
With the pallets of honey, you can either sell them directly at a sale point, or you put in some extra work and mix them with raisins and grains at a cereal factory (available on the Elm Creek map) to greatly increase your profits.
Chickens are also deceptively easy to maintain. You will need to build a coop or a pasture, whichever you can afford, and then purchase some chickens through the animal dealer in the shop menu. NOTE: There doesn't appear to be a way to transport chickens yourself, so you will need to pay the small fee for automatic transfer to your farm.
With water dealt with as described in the introduction of this page (if relevant), you'll want to provide the chickens with wheat to feed on. You can of course cultivate and harvest your own wheat to feed them, but separating the wheat you make and the wheat grain you buy will help immensely. Buying pallets of wheat from the shop will allow you to fill up your trailer straight away, offload it outside their coop, and voila, job done!
You'll note a yellow and black box to the side of the coop, and this is where you will find the eggs that your chickens will begin to produce. You can track their reproduction cycle in the animal dialog menu (denoted by a blue paw print symbol), which will typically be around the -month range. With those eggs you can sell them as is, or you can transport them to a bakery to incorporate into products like bread or cakes.
Horses are a unique animal in the game, in that you can care for them but you can also ride them. This provides an alternate form of transportation, and it can help to increase your potential profits. You will, as expected, need to build either a pasture or a barn for them, provide water with the former, and Oat as food for both structures (they can also eat sorghum or grass, but Oat is most easily purchasable and you'll want to save your grass for sheep). You can grow it yourself, or purchase pallets to offload directly - your choice.
