Cows not producing milk

[Doc3d]

Which cows produce milk? Would it help if I buy just the cows that give milk?

If you want milk, buying cows that actually produce it might help, yes.

It’s like asking why are my cows not producing any bacon? Well, because they’re cows, not pigs. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself)

As mentioned above, if you’re on seasons, only 2 breeds produce milk, so make sure that’s what you have and as also mentioned, it takes quite a while before they start producing. If you’ve been through a year with no milk, that might indicate a problem somewhere

Just to add to the discussion, Realismus covered everything discussed here and even more details about animals in their Seasons 19 manual and blogs on their website:

It is an excellent and thorough document.

If you have just bought a new young herd it will take at least fourteen months for your cows to produce milk, from my understanding. Female cows that is.

That's correct wobbles. Takes over a year with a new herd. Once they start though, comes in nicely.

holsteins and arshire give milk on seasons havent tried the rest. also my spelling may be off.

These are the only two breeds that produce milk--the rest are beef cattle. They are supposed to be male but show udders for milking cows--small detail that Giants didn't do anything with. If they are male, they are usually castrated males to become steers, because in RLF leaving them as bulls is not a common thing in the beef industry. In the store when you purchase cattle, it will tell you in the description whether they are M or F.

Let some time pass. It takes time for it to go.
