The cows stopped giving milk

Post by kodrinkod »

Good evening — quick question about livestock.

I built milking stalls for my cows and sheep, separated the lactating females there, and was successfully milking them for about a week. But yesterday I couldn’t milk three of the cows, and today one of the sheep as well. They lost their lactation, even though they definitely had it before — all the cows were milkable.

They were a bit hungry for a while, but they didn’t even go into hibernation, and I brought them food. I’m not sure if that’s related. Could it be because they’re no longer breeding?

How can I prevent this kind of issue with the milking stalls? Milking cows all kept in the same stall is pretty exhausting.

Interesting way.
Can a bull “interact” with cows through an open gate or are they considered an obstacle?

Understood. Thank you. Then a decision may be made to let the bull roam along the corridor between the stalls.
Or will he go inside to the cow and not come out?

It's clear. Thanks again!
It will be necessary to make similar stalls, only as wide as possible.

Being ready to breed doesn't give bulls the ability to travel through solid objects.
Thanks, I’ll upgrade the milking stalls then — I’ll add a corridor for the bull.

Rough. But interestingly thought out.
