Talking about millions...with 150 holstein cows on 6 day seasons, during autumn when their milk production is at maximum, you will earn easy 500-600k from milk...+ lots of manure for sale.
Some animals in seasons feels like money cheating, it is really way too much profitable and i lose interest to play when i become too rich and buy whatever i want.
And thats on Hard difficulty, cant even imagine what its like on medium or easy.
So yea, you can earn millions on certain animals during just 1 ingame year.

Do you cut the grass daily? Because I read in seasons guide in the help menu that grass only lasts two days or something like that so it is impossible to therefore stockpile it like you would with hay or straw.

How do you actually sell/remove them once you'd added them?

Playing Lone Oak on PS4 and it won't highlight them. I accidentally added 3 that I now either have to take care of or just let die as I'm not ready to do them in my playthrough yet....

I dont use grass at all for TMR mixture, only hay, straw and silage.
And thats true, grass does last only 2 days, but basically you dont need grass, just turn it into hay and it will last forever if its stored properly.

Im thinking that you want seasons and realistic gameplay, but you also complain that you don’t make €500.000 on stabling horses...? You think they make that kind of money IRL? I’m willing to bet you’d be lucky to be left with €500 after maintenance cost, food and water, power etc

Do you actually have to ride the horses to make money in seasons or can you just take care of them and still earn an income?

If I have horses I train them once it is too dark for field work, turn the speed back to 1x. I find a large area to gallop in circles and use a rubber band to pull the sticks of my controller together so I can leave the game to train horse while I go make a coffee or do something else for 5-10mins.

That's a good idea lol. Because to be honest with you... Riding horses is probably the most boring thing in this game IMO

I have a 5 year old daughter who loves to “ride the horses” everyday while I make lunch or something.

Not sure if seasons changes anything but in the base game horse exercising is solely based on time (5 mins) so walking is just as effective as galloping. Just find a straight line with no obstacles and leave it well alone.
