Shelters for calves, group or single with small enclosures.
Calves require special and daily care. Calf houses are an ideal solution for raising calves outdoors, they are easy to work with, easy to clean, and they keep warm in winter. Here they can grow up, and then they need to be moved to another cowshed.

Functionality:
These calf huts work the same way as any other cow farm.
Animals can be supplied with food, water and straw in any way convenient for you - using a trailer, bale, pallet, shovel, blower... All input triggers are clearly marked.
For better gameplay, it is recommended to use small tools such as a wheelbarrow, or small vehicles such as a side-turn loader.
To clear the calf pen of manure, you first need to remove the fence and place a shovel (or even a trailer) inside the fence and press R — start loading (default key binding — see the control menu).
The cows in this pen do not produce milk and liquid manure, but only manure, and they require a lot of manual daily care!
Recommendations/requirements:
This mod is designed and makes sense only with the Enhanced Animal System mod (from Chissel) or with any map that already has calves.
With this mod, it is recommended to use the mod "More Animal Enclosures (64)" (from modelleicher / Farming Agency) so that you can build several huts for calves. |
