After putting the Cow Dung in your Inventory, click Self -> Skills -> Search Cow Dung for Pepper Seeds. Perception is needed to find the pepper seeds. Grilled carrots and certain cheeses give Perception.
  

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.
  
• If no milk is given then the cow had not given birth recently and the udders are dry.
