Cows are a livestock animal that appear in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. They have four separate appearances which include black (regular), pink (strawberry), orange (fruit), and brown (chocolate).

Cows can be purchased from Yodel Ranch and will live in the barn after their purchase.

Stages[]

Calf

The store-bought cow will mature in 9 days (if you feed it every day). If you miss a day of feeding, then the cow will take an extra day to mature, up to a maximum of 14 total days.

Pregnant Cow

The livestock from Mugi's store are locked to having a maximum of 5 hearts. Breeding the existing animals will result in offspring with more than 5 hearts. Each animal born on your farm will have 1 more heart than its parent. To obtain animals with 10 hearts, you must breed to have a baby with +1 heart, then breed that baby after it mature so its baby has +1 heart, and so on.

Mugi sells pregnancy kits in his shop for 3000 G. The Cow Breeding Kit works for both the normal cows and the special cows. Simply equip the breeding kit as a tool and use it on the intended animal. There also needs to be space in the livestock barn for the future newborn.

The next day after using the breeding kit, the pregnant animal will stand in the birthing areas within the livestock barn. It will not go outside until the baby animal is born. During this time, feed the pregnant animal or the pregnancy will take longer. A typical animal pregnancy lasts 21 days. When a day of feeding is missed, the pregnancy will last one extra day for each day the animal went hungry, up to a maximum of 30 days. If a birth was to occur on a festival day, the birth will shift over to the next non-festival day.

Care[]

Cows will produce milk every day as long as they are fed fodder or grass the prior day. You can increase your friendship with your animals by:

  • Talking to your livestock
  • Hand-feeding (hold the fodder in your hands and press the Action button to gift it to the animal)
  • Spend at least 5 hours outside (sunny or snowy weather only)
  • Use the brush tool to clean the livestock

Each of these actions can earn +1 friendship point per day, and you can't lose earned friendship points. You can obtain animals that have more than 5 hearts of friendship via animal breeding.
