Dear Giants, I want to feed my cows

Post by chedly_farms »

Dear Giants,

I would like to ask you to incorporate feeding cows, "fresh chopped corn" into the next game installment for consoles. To me that would add some more play value to the game and give us players more options to feed cows. It is done in real life at farms across the world, so it would be just adding some more realism to the game. Maybe give it the same productivity of feeding cows, grass. Thank you for reading this.

I do hope they will rework all the feeding system.

Fresh corn chopped corn is a most have, but cows needs to ingest a pretty complex mixture to be in top of their productivity.

It's way more than Grass, hay, silage...

Thanks for brigging it

I'd like to be able to add "high moisture" corn and potatoes to the mix as well for cows. Even if the high moisture part of it is just being able to add harvested corn grain. Ear'lage corn would also be a nice option as well. And while we are at it, console also needs a way to mix pig food.

I've raised chickens for close to 13 years and I would never feed my chickens wheat. It has been shown to improve digestion, but I definitely wouldn't feed it exclusively.

Raising chickens (even a smaller backyard flock) is an indepth process, involving such feeds as chick starter/grower, layer crumble or pellets, cracked corn and sometimes high protein game feed.

I would like this to be represented just a little more, as well as being able to water them.

All of the feeding systems for the animals are incorrect and people from all over feed them differently.

Grinder mixers and making the feed it’s own dedicated type would be nice, you can feed all the separate grains to the pigs or mix it and feed the pig food and it increases gain.

The MaizePlus mods fix some of these issues. It was intimidating at first, but now I don't like to play without it if animals are going to be a major part of the map I'm playing.

If you play with MaizePlus, you can work in the .xml file to add corn for your chicken ;)

I did it.
