🐄 Cow

Cows are essential farm animals that can be purchased from Marnie’s Ranch for 1,500g. They produce Milk daily when properly cared for, making them one of the most reliable sources of income for farmers. Cows require a Barn to house them and take 5 days to mature from calves to adults.

When happy and well-fed, cows provide daily milk that can be processed into valuable artisan goods or sold directly. They are perfect for players looking to establish a steady income stream from livestock farming.
