GUIDE TO COWS - Farming Simulator 22

[@Crash88]

These videos help out a TON, I'm a "cityboy" born and raised in Chicago so my farm knowledge is very limited. Watching these gives me the help I need so thanks for making them.

[@Mephilis78]

Yeah well I'm a country boy and this game isn't exactly intuitive. I remember hand filling water troughs with buckets or hoses, not filling a giant tractor pulled water tanker and dumping it roughly near a trough lol. Meanwhile the game won't let you pick up bails by hand either lol

[@Crash88]

@@Mephilis78 "Yeah well I'm a country boy", childish a bit? so what's your real point? IT'S A VIDEO GAME FOR CHRIST SAKE. There is a way to lift up BALES of hay, you just have to look in the mod sections SPECIFICALLY for lifting BALES, learn to use the correct word country boy.

I was so confused with cows on how to work it but after watching this video it helped me understand how to work them thank you for the guides and describing how and what things are and what they do. You do a great job at explaining and breaking it down keep up the good work.

[@tylerstickle49]

I like to use a few mods when i play like the placeable seed pallets and feed stations so you dont have to leave your farm. Started up a farm yesterday with a cotton field and placed a spinnery and tailor shop and started making clothes. This morning after mostly getting all my sheep and wool and everything going yesterday i was able to sell 6 pallets for 180k and today i did another season of production sped up until april at the high point and sold 10 pallets of clothes for 304k. Paid off the loan in full and still have 250k+ 😁 really enjoying the paces of the production so far. I also now have two sheep sheds and two spinnerys to really keep my stock full and processing year round. Gonna try to get another tailor shop soon with profits going up but im also looking into cows or such to expand even more. Ive always played these games almost every single one thats released but this one by far feels the most intriguing with everything you can do. Cant wait to see what more mods bring in the future!!

[@tylerstickle49]

Update sold 18 more for 553k 😂🤙🏻

Really enjoy your videos pal. Really helpful for a first time FS gamer like myself. Thanks bud. Keep them coming. Hope all is well.

[@tylerwible3479]

This video helped me understand the cows a lot better thank you

[@Felrock12]

According to an update making it weird to use straw since it used to do absolutely nothing in fact of manure or slurry production, The cow pastures DO NOT create manure anymore since you now require straw to make manure and cow pastures don't let you give straw to your cows sadly.

[@1TheExpertGamer]

Up to now, I never realised how useful you was to FS until now, thank you for your help 🙂🙂

[@matiaspugliano1556]

Thank you very much for these videos, really informative about the game and you can see the effort that has gone into them. I've noticed that the price fluctuations aren't exactly working according to the graphic in the prices section in-game. I'm sure you've noticed already but definitely take a look at it, haven't seen anyone who has really figured it out yet so I just make an average and only sell if the price is above average. Cheers!

[@FarmerCop]

I believe the new patch has hopefully fixed that :)

[@kaydengore9384]

This doesn't help I need to find out how to milk cows to sell the milk

[@Lemonykitty]

@famercop I came to this video and the manure heap extension says it must be placed next to a barn, the cow pasture doesn't have a barn. So can I not do manure with a pasture?

[@FarmerCop]

It should work with the pasture still but i could be wrong

[@ronnydueck5625]

Iv wanted to start with cows for a while and u r definitely my go to for tutorials!

[@Rougaychips]

im taking care of angus and limousin cows, can i leave them in the cow pasture or do i need to keep them in the barn, but the barn doesn't have water

[@OhNoDaikuriiFoundMyChannel]

You can keep them in both and the reason barns don't have a water input is because the barn waters them automatically

[@Joshinwv304]

So the large pen you don’t have to water do you have to refill at all?

[@ElijahMelcher]

You explain things in fs22 the best say ever great job

[@danieljobber7931]

When do newborn cows start producing milk? Months in and I'm still at 0 litres with my Swiss cows

[@FarmerCop]

I believe they have to be more than a year old

[@simon7109100]

Be mindful if you don't place a manure extension, they will still produce manure, you just can't get it. I run months without one, and the storage tab shows I have 15k more manure then I actually have in the manure heap. It just can't be accessed, so stuck there forever.

[@mrbones2921]

What vehicle or trailer do you use to collect the milk?

[@FarmerCop]

Base game there are two trailers under animals that hold milk

[@nathynhook2981]

the auto cow farm you need to put hay, straw, mineral feed and slurry in the holding spots that are separated from the mane cow farm the arm will put your hay, straw, mineral feed and slurry in the robot and it will feed the cows fore you.

[@joesnod12313121]

Where can you buy the loose straw or what’s a good way to make larger quantities of TMR.

[@FarmerCop]

There are modded bulk buy points for straw, hay, silage, or even just TMR on the in game ModHub, this is a quick and easy way to get as much TMR as you need

[@smurg_teh_wurgg3540]

Thanks for the explanation. I was super confused by the whole system.

[@tonysails5278]

I cant seem to figure out why the cows or the horses not showing in the barns or on the field after i purchased them. Im on ps5.

[@FarmerCop]

Only so many will show up, example: if you own 100 cows only a few will render in for performanance reasons

[@jeffstthomas399]

If I do the total mixer do I also have to do hay? No right?! Lol only side thing I need is straw but looking for the correct answer lol thanks

[@FarmerCop]

Correct, if you do TMR no hay or grass is needed

[@brianfehr3368]

What cows should I buy for my farm or dose it not matter?

[@user-no3up7wi8y]

Do the barns grow there own grass in the field? Or do you have to put it there?

[@FarmerCop]

The animals will not graze you have to feed them

[@MrCarlo-ox7tt]

Thanks again bro couldn't of done it without you again

[@therickman1990]

I just got started with cows, bought the second barn, the 254k one. Put 10 Holstein cows in (the 1100 ones), gave them grass and straw (don't have anything else at the moment), but they are not producing any milk. Do I have to wait for the cows to reach the point when they can reproduce?

[@FarmerCop]

Yes theybwill mot produce milk until they have matured

[@RealCascars]

those timestamps are great!!! thank you

[@Itss_KodaBearyy_]

so do you not need to feed tmr to breed cattle? it says it maximizes milk production..?

[@FarmerCop]

This video will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGnantpmL2fm6c

[@jeffjones7966]

Here's a question for you my friend!. I bought 2 pallets of milk from the store to start my BAKERY and it would not accept them, must have trailer obviously. Travelled all over Elm Creek to sell them and NO-ONE buys them! If u do any research on this could u please let me know as Im stuck with 2000lts of milk now. Thanks mate!

[@griesserguy4251]

It won’t let me collect any of my slurry or milk with my liquid tanker. Is there a reason for this that I’m missing?

[@robertsummers3386]

The tanker might not be able to take milk at all. Find the tanker in the store and see the items that it can carry. If you can't see the milk icon, then it can't carry milk.

[@Mrgoose5]

This is not answer my question I'm wondering how do I place the water thing inside of the pin because the barn comes with the pin

[@bmk418]

Can you move cows to another barn? example if I have a barn with 80 and they are ready to reproduce, can you move that to a new barn, and then in that barn you'll have 2(the cow) and the new born calf?

[@FarmerCop]

Yes you can with a livestock trailer :)

[@manuellanthaler2001]

why do i not need straw in small cow "thing" pasture or what its called? I bought a forage wagon just so i can give my cows straw. Is it only in the bigger cow "pastures"? And if yes why would you even buy bigger cow barns? you could save making straw.

[@FarmerCop]

You only need straw if you want manure, no straw will get you slurry while straw will get you manure

[@cadenmurphy8903]

On Erlangrat I stocked the cow pasture with grass and water but the cows health kept on going down to zero how do I solve this

[@FarmerCop]

You have to provide TMR to get the health up

[@coop_dawg13]

What do you use to pick up the milk in? Like the is a slurry tank for the slurry

[@FarmerCop]

Milk trailers are located under tools then under animals in the store

[@hammerdown717]

What is the mix ratio for cows

[@DavlynM]

Quick question, will the cows move between pens say the small was full but the large was only 80% will the new cow be placed in the large pen assuming room or will it not matter? If it doesn't matter is it worth it to transfer cows between pens (assuming you have to use truck and trailer to manually move cows between pens) or will that reset their health(and thus productivity/reproduction)

[@FarmerCop]

It should reset them but you would have to move them manually

[@PIGQuiky]

No matter what I try, I can’t get my cows to produce manure… I’ve placed a silo and a silo extension. When I place extension it says “need to place a manure heap next to a barn” using the pasture and silo extension…

[@FarmerCop]

Make sure they have straw bedding and a manure heap extension

[@WhiteoutMonster]

Can't seem to place the manure heap extension lol but awesome video. Thankyou. Was exactly what I was looking for.

[@itzkzpz4561]

Hello! My cows are 59 months old and they productivity got up to 100% and reproduction to 70% and then it droped at 20%. I feed them the total mixed ration and i left them space for newborns but i dont get it really why it happens? Thanks.

[@dylanwaters4883]

I'm really having a hard time getting any manure to appear in my pits. I've put them right by my cows. Just like he did. But I'm still having no luck. And I really need it for my lettuce

[@FarmerCop]

Make sure you are providing the cows with straw or you will not get manure

[@ford.imus.]

Question for ya FC: On Erlengrat it starts you with a cow pasture and a liquid manure tank. The liquid manure tank isn't filling, is that because its a pasture? Isn't it odd if they start you with a pasture and a liquid manure tank but they don't work together? Also, if you do have a barn, and you place the manure extension, if you have the liquid manure extension do the cows produce solid manure and slurry? or is it just one or the other?

[@ford.imus.]

Update: upgraded to the cow barn, free liquid manure tank is now filling and it's not the extension tank. Can't confirm about the manure yet

[@FarmerCop]

I just know you have to use the extension tanks to get them to work with the pens

[@ford.imus.]

@@FarmerCop must be a bug? The non extension slurry pit works with the barn version of the cow stables but not the pasture. Not sure myself about the manure, haven't had the chance to test it since I asked, but I'm sure you're right with the extension Not arguing, just updating my experience in case anyone sees this with similar questions

[@matthewskeean5617]

@@FarmerCop I'm also trying to get the erlengrat cows to work, but the game wont even let me place the ones in the silo extensions menu. They say it needs to be next to a barn or a silo. When looking at the pasture it only shows food, water, and milk meanwhile health has dropped to 0%.

[@terrencebennett5831]

So what exactly is the reasoning behind why you get the silo extension for the manure heap, and not the silo?

The extension at least at this point in the game was all that would work with the cow pens. The non extensiom version basically served as external extar storage
