How much milk does a calf drink?

Post by ElricSorrow »

I just started getting calves and i wonder how much milk I can take and still leave enough for them.The wiki says that you can only get 5 liters at a time but i have gotten more then that.I do not want to hurt the calves Q but i need milk.

They don't drink much at all and Milker's hold 10L at a time but I think calves drink 1.2L every time they drink but it doesn't take long for that to refill I just take 10L per cow a day

Calfs can drink from barrels near them, so you can milk as much as your cow will let you without worry if you keep the barrel of milk in the area with the calf.

It's virtually impossible to starve your calves, you'd have to be milking the cow every 10 minutes. Otherwise the calf beats you to the milk. The only way is to have too few cows at calf pens, so they can't produce enough milk.
