Cowshed

Animal buildings Main farm

The cowshed is the most demanding but also the most rewarding of the basic animal buildings, so it's worth making it a priority once you have the feed sorted.

What it's for

The cowshed produces milk and produces dung for the silo as a by-product. The feed for it can be made from wheat or alfalfa in the mill.

Produces

Dung

Milk

Cream

The cowshed produces milk and, as a by-product, manure for the silo, with cow feed made at the mill from wheat or alfalfa. It's the largest of the three basic animal buildings, takes up 8x5 and stands on the Main farm. Its milk typically goes on for further processing, so the cowshed is an important link in longer production chains. It suits players who have fields of wheat or alfalfa going and want to make the most of them.

When to build it

The first level is available from level 13, a little later than the chicken coop or the pigsty, so it's the third animal building you'll put up. It's worth building as soon as you have wheat or alfalfa sorted and the mill making cow feed. Together with the chicken coop and the pigsty it then gives you plenty of manure for the silo.

Is it worth upgrading

Upgrading raises milk output with basic feed from 230 to 520 units at level ten and manure from 97 to 150 units, making it the biggest increase of all three animal buildings. Level ten costs 10,000 diamonds and requires player level 134, so don't rush it and take the cowshed to level nine for dollars first. Even so it's a long-term investment, because from level five the prices jump into the millions of dollars.

Tip from a veteran player Cow silage is processed in seven and a half minutes, so it's the ideal recipe when you need to free up slots quickly and don't happen to have seaweed feed, which is processed instantly.

Most common mistake Players often underestimate how many workers the cowshed needs at higher levels and then run short of people for other buildings, because at level nine alone it wants 16 workers.
