More Info

Some animals (e.g. Dairy Cows) are intended to be kept only for their milk/wool/etc, some (e.g. Hogs) only for their meat, and some (e.g. Chickens) for both!

You can “inspect” animals to see info about their mood, hunger, affection towards you, etc.

Keep your animal happy (and maximize production) like so:

Pet once a day
Make sure she has enough food
Let her outside if the weather is warm
Make sure she is secure at night
Purchase a heater to counteract the unhappiness of being inside all winter

Happy animals produce more valuable products!
