Which one should I keep?

[Jotun]

Become a hippie and don't kill the cows, raep them and breed minotaurs.

[SpidersEverywhere]

I wouldn't use the second one, with milk quantity that low your cows will barely produce enough to feed your calves.

You havent really said what your purpuse of the breeding is. what is your highest priority?

If you want to breed for hide ql then forget it! you are way behind on reaching any satisfying results before any server reset. so forget about that stat.

so that leaves meat and milk quality, id say forget about quantity those stats will come later on its own, and is not as important.

question is, are you breeding for the cowchoritzos or are you breeding for high ql milk?

latley i have noticed that milk ql doesnt seem to affect the ql of cheese for example i havent tested it enough to be 100% sure tho, but the ql of the rennet put in seems to be the biggest factor, ql of the tub and the trays seems to only cap the ql not making it higher.

however milk ql affects many other things like butter and other goods that require milk.

i try to breed equal ql on all stats, even tho my priority was always milk ql. sometimes if i end up with a bull that is only good in one stat and another one that was good in the other stats i actually kept both wich gave me a variaty of stats on the calves to shoose from, i just let nature have its course, im not sure but i have a small feeling that the bulls with high ql milk for example would inpregnate the female cow with opposite stats wich gave me a calf with medium of both stats, once i got a bull with medium of both stats i kept only that one and killed the rest of the bulls, then having female cows with both high milk ql and high meat ql and breeding them with this stable stat bull, gave me a lot of good calves.

i would give you this advice, if you have enough cows , i would keep both those bulls since none of them have allaround good stats, keep two bulls with great opposite stats until you get a calve bull with even stats overall, (hoping the bull with one good stat will mate with a cow with oposite stats), once you have that even ql bull, then you can naturally have only one bull until you again only get bulls with opposite stats meaning heavaly lacks on one stat if that happens again , then once again keep two bulls again and so on. Breeding ql matters tho so always keep that in consideration when shoosing.

since both of your bulls have the same breeding ql , but other then that have opposite stats, keep both. thats what i would do, but its your own choice.

however, if your only purpuse for breeding is milk ql for example then i think you allready know what to do really.

Do'h. your right, I should have clarified what I needed it for. Im going for milk quality. I will take your advice and keep both, its good advice. (its not like I dont have enough food to feed them, ive got lots of hemp seed)

another advice, Pumpkins are great fodder if you can keep the ql up, it is possible to put the hole pumpkin in the through without slicing them up so you only need about 13 pumpkins to fill one through, then you only need to slice the best ql pumpkins for reeplanting those seeds and put the pumpkin meat in the throughs, plant a ton of pumpkins basically. but try to keep your fodder quality a little bit above the quality of your animals.

Mine's a little better yet still horrible :V
I always loved this cow, it's so full of hope, so full of effort and trying, yet it's such a failed slab of walking meat. In the end I chose not to kill it but I set it free. I wonder if it's still running around in the deserted halls of my former home? I called him 'the little cow that could, but really couldn't'



edit: in case you are wondering, stats of the future generation are limited by the father's breething quality, making this cow a worthless piece of err, meat.

I use mostly turnip leaves and the excess seeds from hemp farming. i get so many that I had to build a second trough so I could empty out my seedbags.

Epic failcow you got there, exewu. I'm sure your actions matched your avatar's when you first checked its stat sheet.

Also, _second_ trough?! Build a dozen, at the very least. And then, look on your cows' hunger, ye Mighty, and despair.
