Just on my mind.

I was collecting cows to let milk grow..la la la, all ok. But only now, in This moment...i thought a simply thing.

Cow female. High Milk = Cool.
+
Cow Male. High Milk = Cool and nice baby!!

...



Cow..male..

..milk?....milk q..? A Male..??


...May the male cows in your country have MILK!? XDDD

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL, METAGAME XDDDD (to force the game to add the milk q to the baby cow..but..but...Ahaha XDDD)

I am smiling and nodding at the OP, pretending to have understood what he said.

a bull can't have milk 8D

Basically he's saying it's weird/funny that males have a Milk Quality listed because males don't give milk. I think it's a decent abstraction of genetics, but eh.

What's more disturbing is, unless I'm mistaken, before you could domesticate animals the cow sprite was always the bull sprite. So for months we were milking bulls.

I don't think it's weird at all. If you look at the advertising for insemination products there is often a nice picture of the bull and beside it a list of the wonderful characteristics that he features. One sort of bull is advertised as high milk yeild, low mastitis, and the other sort of bull is advertised as heavy, fast maturing and with good quality meat. If you breed your dairy cattle with a beef bull the milk quality and yield will drop. If you breed you dairy cattle with a better quality dairy bull the next generation will produce higher quality milk.

But as for you other point.... How do you think they get the product sold in the catalogue I'm describing? They don't escort the bull into a private little stall and then before they leave hand him a magazine full of photographs of oestral heifers!

or, all wild cattle have horns, both male and female.

Anyway, in nature, the milk q is from the female. The bull don't have milk, don't give milk and he don't even know what's milk XD. The bull give the milk q of his mother, if we wanna give a sense to this weird stats that bulls have..XD

[kralmir]

just because a bull doesnt have anthing to do with milk directly does not mean his genes do not affect his female offsprings when it comes to milk.

This. And imho we have a problem with lack of formula disclosure as it is.

Sorry flame but I gotta say your complaint is insultable because we should be clinging to not deriding what little we get to calculate such things with.

A bulls milk is called semen, people.
