Is it just console or does cow farm only have a small amount of food for 3500 cows?

I had a look at this map today and progressed one day and all food gone. If you watch Farmer Kleins review on YT he suggests selling most of the livestock, which I guess defeats the purpose of the map.

Yeah i dis a little cheat run today filled it up the food on sped up time.....the food disappears fastt.....they need to adjust the amounts for 3500 cows lol.........

Doesn´t it make sense that you need to give the animals food every day?

Its not enough food for all the cows lol....3500 cows eating same amount as an 80 cow barn lol

Same with sheep, 2,000 sheep....11k max food

Exactly food storage little small

IRL you would feed your livestock (i.e. cows, horses, chickens) twice a day minimum. I have found that the feed amount is realistic in the primus that you would feed the cows and sheep twice a day once in the morning and again in the evening. that's just the way a livestock farm works, however let tell you if you had 3500 head of cattle you would be feeding and milking all day long, now what I find crazy is the need to feed sheep, sheep are grazing animals and would not need feeding most of the time. ( I don't do pigs however I would surmise that the ones included on the map would have the same twice a day feeding required)

For a 1 day/month setup, food capacity in the cowbarn is definitely way too small.

You start out with 2000 heads in total. As the map is using games default food/animal definition, food demand per month is at least 350x2000=700000 liters.
I'm pretty sure Angus and Limousin need 450 liters per head and month.
So food demand would be more like 350000+450000=800000 liters per month.

With only 150000 liters capacity in the cowbarn, you need to refill at least 6 times per month.

So yeah. To achieve that 2 times per day feeding, trough capacity needs to be increased or you need to play with 3 days per month.

Anyone who plays this map? Is it normal that the grass fields turn to sorghum fields in march?

Whats the Problem with the grass in march? it turn to sorghum fields...
