SEASONS 19 On CONSOLE (NEW COW System: DAIRY) Farming Simulator 19 PS4 (Tutorial)

[@lefe195]

Thanks for another Awesome! video. And i'm glad we have you for console players.. Thanks MrSealyp

[@24dmclean]

Dear mr. P I love everything about Seasons I love the way you do things I have learned so much more about farming and I farm for 10-15 years now in the Northeast don't ever worry about anything man this is the greatest influence I've had in a long time and this game is just blowing my mind the way we can have a crop rotation planner and let alone the you drop a Wheatfield and you you spread it you have to spread it all year round even just to spread it all but you really can't get any more real like unless you're in the game or the TV is really big but I just wanted to thank you from this side of the pond unless you're on the other side of the pond or you're on our side of the pond either way the world is one

[@theconcretewizardgaming7212]

Thank u I have been searching everything to find answers in what the seasons mod had in effect with the cows and milk. Appreciate ur time sir thank u

[@ChristopherDenneySeedy]

Love the videos. Really should have take all the milk out every night, if you are comparing the accumulated milk it's weighting significantly towards the one that got calfs earlier.

[@heaven4hockeycards]

1st year is probably ok to give hay/grass... drop silage. Begin to give silage when milk is producing is probably the best way tom do it

[@remcoveenendaal2607]

MrSealyP i like your how to videos, i learn a lot from them, but because you had more milk at the end with the cows you stopped giving tmr, i did the test myself. I put 5 holsteins and 5 ayshers with tmr and straw and 5 ayshers with straw and silage in a seperate pasture. As soon as 1 of the cows was pregnant, i sold the rest of the cows in the pasture, leaving me with one cow each. But because they did not get pregnant at the same time, i sold the last adult cow as soon as the young one was 0.3 years old, this way i could see how much milk each cow produced in that period. My finding was that the holstein ,like you already tested, was the most productive cow for milk, i got about 1000 liter more at the end then the number 2, which was the aysher with the tmr, which got about 100 liter more than the one with the silage. Again i really like your videos, keep up the good work.

[@remcoveenendaal2607]

Maybe the reason that the cows with the hay/silage had a higher milk production than the one with the tmr, is they had more births at the beginning and therefor more cows to start producing milk.

[@peter9style]

Remco Veenendaal thanks buddy, saved me the comment.

[@remcoveenendaal2607]

peter9style no problem.

[@jctv8636]

Super informative mrSealyP. This is going to change the way I do cows from now on lol. Thanks Mate!

[@Sashigrey]

how do you feed cows for milk?

[@billb2079]

The straw has the biggest effect, in my opinion on health percentage. Great Video😎✌

[@SSGSNAKE1]

Seams kind of like tmr is a feed they need for health. However, it may be you don’t need to fill it up or give them as much. Meaning only give them a little to keep health up and let them run out of it and feed off the hay and silage as their primary food source and then just a little more tmr every so often to keep health up. Might be cheaper in the long run anyhow for the dairy cows.

[@crazof2700]

Good information, like you said a longer term test is probably needed. All your starting cattle started off the same so 1 year doesn't show much difference, how the young grow under the various conditions will show the difference more as time goes on, time for part 2 looking at the herd every 6 months for multiple years.

[@MrGarycharters]

Thank you! Was confused as to why I wasn't getting slurry.

[@AJSimulations]

The new cattle pasture mod that has been released although it is designed for beef cattle I have found to be really useful for dairy also to reduce cost. First season of the dairy herd they have gone out into this pasture then come into a barn a day or so before the first one calves. Slight downside theres no manure but massive saving in time and food. Then I'm putting the calves back into the pasture in the spring of season 2 when the grass has regrown. It also makes having a livestock trailer worthwhile! Great series on seasons.

[@magicsteve5523]

My IRL farm has an Ayrshire herd, brilliant cattle for a mixed farm that doesn’t focus entirely on dairy.

[@adamleitao1547]

I’m curious to see after watching the cows you stopped feeding TMR out produce the cows you only feed TMR if it’s best to feed them TMR in the winter and during the summer months feeding them Hay/ Silage or maybe even just grass is the most cost effective way to run your dairy cows. Just a thought I wanted to share thank you for your time you spend on making these how too video’s they are much appreciated

[@Voliere-infoNl]

in summer its allways most cost efficient just to let them "graze" their pasture. Thats 0 cost and 0 work. for them to get full grass through.

[@Baerenpapa007]

About the amount of slurry/manure they produce: I think that is proportional to the amount of feed they take: the more you put in at the front - the more will come out at the rear. ;) Looking at their breeding circle you have to admit, that once they had their first calve and you finally start getting milk from them - their price should rise immensly (I'd say it should almost double up)! Why? Because at that state you already put in a year of work and money into them without getting anything from them, so in fact the first year is always a total loss! They start making money the second year! So from the point on when they start giving milk they indeed are much much more valuable - somebody buying one of these cows can start making money immedeatly instead of putting in money for a year first - that fact must be reflected in their price and one should be able to buy cows that produce milk from the word go!

[@Sashigrey]

Hi, I have 3 questions. 1. what is the best feeding method for milk? 2. which one should I take for a lot of milk? holstein or ayrshire? 3. which one is better? manure or slurry?

[@BrockRodriguez]

Very informative video MrSealyP. You've answered a few of my questions in this video. Interesting tests and reults. I also realize the amount of work that goes into one of these videos and we appreciate all of what you do to keep information as accurate as you can. I was wondering about the whole solid manure vs slurry thing but I've always just fed my cows everything including straw for bedding so that explains why I've gotten no slurry. Payoff from solid manure is fine and personally I think it's kinda nice having to deal with one or the other

[@thunderbird885cc]

I had a giggle at the "More realistic farming is called "Farming"" . Thanks for all your videos, they have been very informative. Having grown up on a dairy farm, the Holsteins I already knew about, but the Ashire tests were very interesting ty =)

[@adrianbinstead6249]

Yet another great guide, thanks mate.

[@mysteryincracing]

Was looking at doing season but after watching your excellent videos I don't think I'll bother, I think ill just use the snowy lands now and again

[@mikea4074]

What happens to the male cafes when they get mature? 1200-1400#? Do you make money over the the price to buy one such as beef cattle? Is there a magic weight for them as well?

[@mikea4074]

@@MrSealyp thank you Mr. Sealyp

[@AlexMorales-tt7ko]

Once again thank you so much for your videos..i started on Sussex with the crater bay geo and it does make a difference but not a crazy amount for me..and i wanted slurry but the health of my animals wasnt worth it

[@neilharbott8394]

I'd plan on holding the male calves as beef stock, and treat them like beef cattle - so save for a year. Then if you're strapped at start up - maybe go with hay for a while, add TMR when you can afford to get a mixed and the like. Also no big deals, until they give birth (as birth rate is random), maybe stay off TMR until the calving starts.

[@DeBe999]

My thoughts exactly. Especially the part where you feed cows in gestation or dry period no TMR. My way of doing it is using 2 or 3 pens. 1 for the producing cows, tmr and the like. One for calves, no tmr nor straw and one for cows in gestation or on their 2 month dry period, no tmr but since I had a lot of straw I wanted to gain the manure from them.

[@raymondmasseau3238]

Great stuff yes Holstein are the queen Ayrshire are good also we hav both giants are pretty good in there way of making it as real as possible few little things not enough to say anything have a happy new year all the best for 2020

[@mikesiver1950]

I do. Milk cows in one. Beef cows in a separate one.

[@magnusstrandberg1707]

In real life, they produce manure and slurry. I don’t get it,why they didn’t add that from the start. My opinion. Great videos as always

[@petrokemikal]

yeah that i found a bit stupid too... also when yo clean there pens.. it really should have been free manure to add to the heap and not silage...

[@The_Black_Knight]

Important FS19 Seasons game mechanic note regarding cow fertility. During the dairy calving gestation cycle, there is roughly a 25% probability of a non-heifer fertile cow will foster a BULL. It is not purely random, nor is the fertility period, as fertility requires the cow to be a minimum of 2 years of age, meaning the first calf will not be at 9 months after purchase as these are still heifers. Watch the video closely. However, the bull when it reaches maturity CANNOT sire cows. Essentially, it becomes a "steer" for beef production. In the real world, many dairy farmers often sell male calves immediately, as it is not efficient for long term milk production, as they take up needed space, time, and added feed requirements.

[@Voliere-infoNl]

what happens when the stable is full? Do they still get insemination cycle and just "drop" the calf that was supposed to be in the stables? I'm on dutchcolony map and started with 20 holsteins which i want to naturally grow to the 300 limit of the large farm

[@surfaxel1]

Hi there thank you for your tutorial are super usefull!! I have a question how do you buy animal in multiple? Rather than each click buy one animal

[@JohnyAngelo]

In terms of milk profit vs. beef profit, I came to conclusion that beef is about 4x (!) less profitable as milk. Can anyone confirm?

[@juliawynn4238]

Hello Mr. Sealy P! brilliant tutorial!!! thank you for putting this out! I do have a question; will milk spoil? I've place about 120k of milk in the silo and waiting on the right price...as it stands, the market price is still low, by this time it goes up...it'll be past a season or two.

Wonder what the numbers show after another full year or two. Do the trends continue or does something change as the calves grow under different conditions?

[@ryanbohle4953]

[@NightMaerzzz666]

Just a quick question, would it be advisable to have the water pump and grass as a bare minimum? so if everything else runs out they'll have something to keep them from dying.

What happens if you reach max capacity of your pasture? Also if your cows go to ten years do they die? Are you better selling your older cows to make way for younger stock?

[@ktfarms4514]

[@lordklaknaa486]

what if you gave them silage or tmr but no straw ?

[@jame3shook]

at 25:20, with seasons, you would think that that new male (once mature) would earn his stay by doing what males do best....

[@Serenityindailylife]

Great results, I wonder if it's like in real life where they grow faster, produce more and maintain health better if you vary their diet instead of feeding them a single diet of a given feed.

[@AceCat69]

I truly appreciate the effort your putting in these videos, but it just seems like animals are broken in seasons. It feels like every animal type has 1 great breed, and the rest are just there for looks.

[@ukoutdoors3022]

Has anyone else had problems associated with transporting animals on Greenwich Valley? It’s caused an issue where none of the vehicles will work. Just had to reinstall the game. Gutted. If someone knows what I did to cause this or how to avoid it I’d appreciate some advice. Thanks.

[@The_Black_Knight]

You were extreme with reinstalling the game. It is not always the map, but a modded placeable animal enclosure or a modded transport, or a problem with a trigger height when placing the animal pen. The function to relocate animals is dependent on all three factors, and many maps were updated quite some time ago. What you should have done is start a new game save, do not delete the old one, use the same map, place down a stock game animal pen, load up some animals at the animal dealer onto a stock trailer, show interactive markers, and attempt to unload. If it does not work, it's the map, and you have eliminated two factors immediately. Always TEST new mods AWAY from your important saved games as basic guidance.

[@ukoutdoors3022]

Thank you for your response. Reinstalling didn’t work anyway, I loaded the game save after reinstall and still the same issue. The only mod involved was the animal trailer, which I’ve used on other maps with no problems. The animal (pig) pen is the one built into the map. I’ve uninstalled the trailer still no joy. Oh well you live and learn. At least I’ve freed up some memory by not reinstalling some of the mods I don’t use.

Can I start seasons with my live stock in place? Will loose my Bales?

[@DeBe999]

The problem with that is that vanilla has no breed specific cattle. So I don't know what kind of breed the game will select out of the seasons options. (I presume Holstein for some reason). You can always try, turn autosave off, and see what happens I guess. They advise doing so after all your fields are harvested, because otherwise you lose all your crop.

[@The_Black_Knight]

Review the FS19 Seasons manual. Prep your saved game. Hard backup your saved game on a USB drive. It is recommended to reduce your stock before activating seasons. This prevents issues. Livestock in place works fine, if you understand the breeds. You dont loose bales, but they will begin to rot if not under cover. You can retain your field crops as an option, but I recommend "sanitation" of your fields to avoid game issues. There is no 100% guarantee you saved game will not have problems because there are literally MILLIONS of scenarios based on mods and map configurations.
