Alright folks, buckle up. Today’s about wrangling those baby cows in Story of Seasons. My little digital dairy dream almost tanked hard. Started simple: bought one calf from Pui. Looked cute, right? Wrong. Big mistake.
The First Major Screwup
Got home, plonked the calf in the barn. Figured, “Hey, grown cows eat fodder, so do calves.” Stuffed fodder into its feed bin thingy. Pat myself on the back. Done.
NOPE. Little critter wouldn’t touch it. Just stood there, looking sad. Heart rate? Dropping. The happiness bar? Plummeting faster than my savings account. Kicked me right in the wallet. Totally panicked.
Figuring Out The Baby Chow
Okay, so grown cow logic? Doesn’t fly. Pestered Vanessa like crazy trying to find the magic trick. Finally found it:
- Normal Fodder Is Useless: Seriously, calves won’t eat it. Don’t even bother trying.
- Grass Is The Gold: This was the key. You gotta pull that fresh green grass right outta the ground outside.
- Fill That Bin: Takes a whole bundle. Pick grass, walk over, chuck it straight into the calf’s special feed bin. Done.
Making It Work Smooth
Got into a daily groove:
- Wake up, rush out.
- Grab a big pile of grass. Aim for 3-4 bundles a day.
- Chuck one bundle straight into the calf’s chow spot.
- Pet that baby, talk sweet. Do not skip this.
Kept this up religiously. Took a solid season, maybe two. Patience game, people. Watched that baby chunk up slow but steady. Heart and happy bars finally climbed back up.
What Actually Happens
Stick to grass? Feed every single day? Pet it like your favorite thing?
- Adult Cow Worth Top Money: Finally grows right. Bigger, better priced.
- Milk Quality Way Up: Once grown and milking, the stuff was dope. Higher quality equals more cash.
- Actually Feels Worth It: Pain at the start, payoff later.
Bottom line? Forget grown cow rules for babies. It’s all about that backyard green. Bundle it, feed it daily, pet it lots. That calf grows right eventually. Took way too long figuring this out, so learn from my chaos.
