Livestock questions

[Thurrok]

If there's anyone around who can answer these questions, they'll get a cookie...

Pregnant females vs. barrel of milk: Will calves always drink milk out of a barrel, or is there some position relative to the mother cow where they'll prefer it over the barrel? Is it maybe q-dependant?

Pregnant females of non-cow species: Is there some way of detecting their ability to give milk, or is this impossible?

Pregnant females feeding different species: Does it work to feed young pigs / sheep from a milk-giving cow, or from a barrel of cow's milk? From my experience, barrels work with every species, is this assumption correct? Can pigs feed sheep, cows?

Feeding radius of females: How many tiles? Same as food troughs?

And here, an easy one:
Food consumption per .1 l of milk given of cows? (jorb posted it once in C&I, dont wanna read it up now)

1. As far as i know, it's random. Like my animals sometimes eat grass and sometimes eat from the food trough.

2. As far as i know, that was only possible after they got a calf. Then they must give milk 100%. That's what is told to me. (if u meant that, didn't really understand the question).

3. As far as i know, yes, they can feed from a pretty far range (not that far, but you know).

4. I don't know the answer.

Now, where is my 3/4th of the cookie?
