Jersey Cow (SI)

Jersey Cows are available in Sunshine Islands.

They are a type of livestock that lives in the player's barn on Ranch Island. They are a more rare and expensive version of the regular cow. They will live for about 6 years.

Unlocking
Jersey Cows will only become available once you ship your first piece of S-rank milk. Once a cow wins the Cow Contest, it will start to produce S-rank milk. Alternatively, doing well in the milking mini-game on a cow with high affection may also result in an S quality milk without needing to win the Cow Festival. Mirabelle sells Jersey Cow for 15,000G each once they become available.

Care
Cows must be fed every day. If cows are put outside, they will eat planted grass grown on the player's farm. They will only eat mature grass, so upkeep of grass is essential when letting your cows graze outside. When cows are inside the barn, they will eat one piece of fodder per day.

Milking, brushing and interacting with your cow are all good ways to increase friendship levels. Cows can also be left outside in good weather for additional friendship. Playing the petting mini-game when given the chance and playing the milking mini-game also provide additional boosts in friendship, although these happen at random. Utilizing Wonderfuls on tools like the milker and brush can also expedite the friendship process.

If your want your cows to give birth to a calf, buy the Cow Miracle Potion from Mirabelle for 3,500 G. You also need to have an available Birthing Pen, and the cow must be an adult. Use the Cow Miracle Potion on the cow you want to impregnate, and then remember to put Fodder in the Birthing Pen's feeder every day inside of the barn. After 21 days, the baby cow will be born. It will take 18 days for the baby cow to mature into an adult cow.

Sick cows must be cured with Animal Medicine, which can also be purchased from Mirabelle's.

Product
A healthy adult Jersey cow can be milked every three days. A cow who is sick or too young cannot be milked. The milker is purchased from Mirabelle's shop. The quality of a cow's milk is affected by its heart level. The milk from a jersey cow is much more expensive than that of a regular cow, so their milk takes longer to produce.

Milk can be turned into yogurt, butter or cheese if these makers are purchased and put into the maker shed on the player's farm.
