You can buy your calf from Blue Sky Ranch. Out of all other animals, the cows
are big money makers. They will give you a lot profits.

                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                  .1.
You will need a barn. You can choose to buy a small barn which holds the
four animals, or you can wait until you can afford to buy a large barn which
can holds the eight animals. (Or you can buy a small barn, and later upgrade
it to a large barn.)

The small barn will costs you 3,500g, and 30 lumbers.
The large barn will costs you 13,000g, and 80 lumbers.

But if you chose to buy a small barn, so upgrade it to the large barn will
cost you 10,000g and 80 lumbers.


                                  .2.
You will need the proper tools so you can take care of your cow. They are:

Brush (800g) - So you can brush your cow, and raises its affection.

Milker (1,000g) - So you can milk your cow, and gets its milk.

Animal Medicine (800g) - It'd better to keep a medicine for emergancy use, 
just in case your cow get sick and Blue Sky Ranch is closed. Your cow
CAN die from illness, so you need to take care.

Reins (free) - After purchasing your first animal, you'll meet Hank later in 
the barn. He'll give you the reins. You can use the reins to lead your cow
out of the barn.

Fodder (30g per a piece) - Of course you need to feed your cow! You can
buy it from Blue Sky Ranch, or you can grow the grass from Spring Farm, and
use a sickle to cut them once they reach a full height.

                                .TADA.
Once you have proper equipment, plenty of fooder, and has a barn ready. You're
now ready to buy a cow! Head to Blue Sky Ranch, and you can make your
purchase.

The calf will costs you 3,200g. It takes about 16 days for your calf to 
mature into adult age.

                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will want to raise your cow's affection much as you can possibly can.
Higher cow's affection, better chance of the cow producing better milk. But
it is not 100% all time. Even the cow with ten hearts, can sometimes give
you a normal Milk. It just means that more hearts your cow has, higher %
for the cow to produce Good Milk or Special Milk.

BRUSH ----- Use a brush on your cow everyday. Your cow will love it.
TALK ------ Talk to your cow everyday.
HAND FEED - Hand feed your cow with fodder.
MILK ------ Milk your cow (if she's adult). She loves it if you do.

You can also leave your cow outside so it can enjoy the sunny days, or
at least cloudy days. But I definitely don't recommand that you leave your
cow during the rainy days. Otherwise your cow will get sick, and lose some
hearts. So I suggest that you keep checking your TV for weather forecasts. 

You should grow the grass field with your grass seeds, and leave your cow
to graze the grass field. Long as it's outside, and long as there're plenty
of grass, you won't have to feed your cow.

--BOOK ABOUT GRAZING--
"To take the animals out of the barn,
 call them with a bell or lead them with
 their reins.
 Animals love to be at pasture.
 Letting them graze also means
 they will feed themselves.
 Don't let livestock out on rainy days
 or they might get sick."

If the weathergirl says that there'll be a typhoon or snowstorm next day...
(By the way, it means that you are unable to leave your house during the 
 typhoon day, or snowstorm day so your livestock will suffer since no food)

But there is a way to avoid this siutation, so if you find out that next day
is dark one... Just hand feed your cow, and leave a fodder in the box. So
next day, your cow will eat that fodder while you're stuck in your house.

You can also use a miracle potion on your cow. Your cow will be
pregnant, and give birth to a calf! The cow miracle potion costs 1,500g.

--BOOK ABOUT ILLNESSES--                --BOOK ABOUT MIRACLE POTION--
"Animals can catch cold if exposed      "Use potions on adult
 to the rain or snow.                    cows, sheep and horses.
 You can cure sick animals               In 14 to 16, offspring are born.
 with a dose of Animal Medicine.         Cows do not give milk while pregnant.
 Make sure you cure them quickly         Horses cannot race while pregnant.
 because sick animals die                Pregnant animals cannot be sold."
 if they are ill too long."

Once your calf becomes the cow of adult age. You will notice it when they
grow into the cow almost immeidately! The size is huge difference between
the calf and the cow, heh. 

Anyway, equip the Milker and stand next to the cow. Press X button, and you
will proceed to get a milk from your cow. Once you're done milking, you will
hold a milk product.

(If you proceed to milk your cow, but your cow shows "!?" above its head.
 And you didn't get any milk. Just hand-feed your cow, and milk her again.
 This time, you should get a milk.)

--BOOK ABOUT MILKING--
"Use this to milk mature cows.
 Happy cows give good milk.
 Milk can be shipped,
 used in cooking, fed to dogs,
 or processed with a
 Cheese Maker or Butter Maker."

You can ship that milk, or you can use the food processor to turn your milk
into the cheese or butter. By doing so, you will boost the value of the
processed food. The food processors are:

Cheese Maker - You can buy it from Junk Shop, for 5,000g.
Butter Maker - You can buy it from Junk Shop, for 3,000g

--BOOK ABOUT THE MAKERS--
"Put ingredients in for processing.
 Cheese Maker: Turns milk into cheese
 Butter Maker: Turns milk into butter
 Mayo. Maker: Turns eggs into mayo
 Yarn Maker: Turns wool into yarn.
 Try cooking with processed food.
 They also fetch a higher price
 when shipping."
