Straw in loading wagons

[iZach]

hi all, i have a question about feeding cows and if they need water.
where do i give them water?
what can i do with the straw thats in a loading wagon (not sure if thats the right name, but the trailer that picks up stuff like hay and grass.)

You don't need to give water to your cow. You do need, if you want a 100% efficiency, to give straw and mixed ration. You can unload your wagon inside your barn and the straw will covert the ground where the cow eat. You need some cow before you can begin to unload the star however. I hope that answered your question.

sort of, but is there anyplace else i can store my straw? like dump it into a pile? or i have to unload all of it to the barn for the cow. i now have 15 cows and the barn is ful of straw.

also what is the "other" profit in the finance page? it says roughly $56,000 is that profit from livestock? like from the cows making milk and selling it?

There is no place to store loose straw, either keep it in the forage wagon until needed or dump it in the cow pen, it will only allow you to supply 6 days worth at a time.

If you want to store it you will need to make it into bales, then you would need a baler and the machine to cut the bale when needed for bedding.

There is some mod that give you the option of creating a warehouse like those where you put the potato/sugarbeet/wood chip but for grass and straw. You can download those and put some near your barn. Also, there is a mod that add a mixer station and this mixer can store up too 100T (100 000 l) of straw. You can't access your straw from that mixer however and you need to fill this mixer with sillage and hay to make the mixed ration.

ok, so i cant take the hay thats in my wagon and make it into bales. is that correct?
i do have the baler and the machine that cuts bales with a stock pile of bales. i like that route better that the wagon, still figureing all this out.

Correct once it is in the wagon you cannot dump it to bale it. You have to bale it from the start.

You need to mix silage with straw and hay to feed to your cows to get to 100% mil production. Silage is made by cutting grass, chaffing crops such as corn and dumping it in the silage bunkers. There is one right by the cow shed and 4 large ones at the bigas plant.

Once you have grass/chaff in the bunker you run it over until it is 100% compressed then you cover it with the blanket so it can ferment into silage.

It range from mission to milk to selling straw/grass . It can also come from seeling vehicule and placable object, so basically everything that is not agriculture related.

For the mod, here one link : http://www.modhoster.com/mods/futterlager-mod-von-frisco0177
