Cows not giving milk (SOLVED)

[leflopparose]

The title pretty much says it all. I bought three cows, all of them are mature and they still don't give any milk.

I looked on the wiki and many other forums what to do that would potentially cause this issue but it still remains!

- I feed them daily (they got grass outside and hay in case it rains)
- I pet them daily as well before letting them outside
- I make sure I always close the gate when they come back inside the barn at night
- The three cows all says they look really happy

(I got the regular barn and none of them are pregnant, I disabled pregnancy to make sure they won't give any babies, maybe it's what causes it?)

And still no milk :[ any other of you encountered this problem? If so, how could I fix this issue (besides installing a mod, unless that's the only way to fix it) ?

Just checking, are you using the milk pail to milk your cows?

[Marshimi]

Do you have an Auto-Grabber? The milk might be going to there rather than your cows.

None of those actually

Ah that explains it. Cows need a tool for them to be milked. A milk pail or an auto-grabber will both work, and they are only sold at Marnie's ranch. If using a milk pail, you need to hold the item, and then right-click the cow/goat you want to milk. If using an auto-grabber, you just need to place it down somewhere in the barn, preferably right inside the entrance.

thank you x_x last time I checked the wiki, this wasn't mentioned at all (either that or I misreaded)

Yeah, you misread it, i just checked, and it's under Cow and under the produce section, not a big deal though, at least you figured it out
