==Bull and Cow and Calves and Milk==

'''Wild Bull:''' <br>
* Can be tipped to gain the Achievement, "Tipped a Bull". <br>
* Can be fed a pepper and might give a Cattle Dung (appears below the bull).  The Cattle Dung can be dried on a Flax Hammock to make Dried Cattle Dung.  After putting the Cattle Dung in your Inventory, click Self -> Skills -> Search Cattle Dung for Pepper Seeds. Perception ''might be'' needed to find the pepper seeds.  Grilled carrots and certain cheeses give Perception. <br>

'''Wild Cow:'''
* Can be Milked if you have empty Jugs in your Inventory.  The Milking Technique is randomly given under Skills under the 'C' for Cow alphabetically, NOT under the 'M's. <br>
* If no milk is given then the cow had not given birth recently and the udders are dry. <br>

'''Wild Calf:'''
* Cannot be tipped. If do, it leaves a nasty message and the calf will not disappear. <br>
* Can be whipped if have stockwhip and/or if have lasso, the calf can be added it to the ranch. <br>

'''Bull in a Ranch:''' <br>
* Eats peppers from a Food Trough at the rate of ? peppers per hour per bull.  Does not give Cattle Dung. <br>
* Drinks water from a Water Trough at the rate of ? water per hour per bull. <br>
* You can use the option Remove from Ranch to revert to wild status if you have a Lasso in Inventory. <br>
* Use Remove from Ranch option then Whip option to move to another Ranch. <br>

'''Cow in a Ranch:''' <br>
* Eats peppers from a Food Trough at the rate of 1 pepper per hour per cow. <br>
* Drinks water from a Water Trough at the rate of 1.5 water per hour per cow. <br>
* Cows give birth after 10 cycles (recently pregnant cows do not give birth right away again).  After doing so, they can be milked in a consistent time interval of ??. <br>
* After being milked for a certain period, they dry up as in real life. "The udders have no milk." <br>
* Having Milking Technique (appears in Skills list under 'C' for Cow Milking Technique), increases milk yield. <br>
* Milking Technique can be learned from a cow in a Ranch or in the wild. <br>
* You can use the option Remove from Ranch to revert to wild status if you have a Lasso in Inventory. <br>
* Use Remove from Ranch option, then Whip option to move cattle. <br>

'''Calves''' <br>
* Chance of being born after 10 feeding cycles. <br>
* Calves can be Slaughtered. <br>
* Female calves can also give birth and be milked (may be a bug or oversight). Stands to reason that male calves can also breed like adults. <br>

'''Milk''' <br>
* Milk sours after a range of 2 hours to 10 Egyptian days (please change range if you had less or more time elapse). <br>
* Higher levels of Milking Tech increases the amount of milk per milking and reduces the rate of milk souring. <br>
* Milk given to another avatar seems to sour at different rates once separated like that. <br>

==Milking Technique==

* Have empty jugs in your Inventory and click the Milk option on a wild cow (is also a cow you Remove from Ranch). <br>
* Milking Technique shows up in your Skills tab alphabetically as if it is 'Cow'. <br>
* Bad luck modifier added - the longer you go without gaining this technique, the better your chances are of learning it. <br>
* Milking Technique is available to at least level 7.
