How to unlock the Cowherd achievement

    if you have played FS19, you are probably dreading this achievement, and i don't blame you, but i honestly found it easier once i knew what to do.

    in this game, and the barn used, you do not need to worry about water, and before starting, i would highly suggest you install the mod "Multifruit Buying Station" from the home menu to make things alot quicker and easier. this allows you to fill up with everything you need right where you are.

    find and buy a nice sized land that isn't too far from the shop (i personally chose a rectangular field).

    first: cn_back and cn_RB down to the "Others" tab, then select "Construction".

    on one side:

    cn_right to "Animals" then [cn_A ] --> cn_down to "Cows" --> cn_down again and cn_right to select and then place the Cow Barn (Large) to fit 80 cows.

    not to close, but not too far:

    cn_left to "Buildings" then cn_A --> cn_down and cn_right to "Container" --> cn_down and cn_right to select and then place the "Multifruit Buying Station".

    once they are placed, run around the barn to open the two back doors, one on each side. this allows the food trailer to be driven in and the contents dumped.

    next, buy or lease five tractors (any will do), four trailers (i personally used the Krone GX 520), and lastly, the Veenhuis Premium Integral 30000 Slurry Tank (tools - slurry tanks - near the end of the list).

    hook up the trailers and the tank to the tractors and drive each one to the field.

    there is a pipe on the outside of the barn, park the slurry tank there (you will have the option to fill the tank once we get going).

    with the multifruit buying station, fill one trailer with TMR, one trailer with STRAW, one trailer with HAY, and the last one with GRASS.

    now, run around to the paw print and hold in cn_LS to buy some cows.

    you want to buy 20 of the first, second and third breed/color - making sure to select the ones that are 18 months old. so now, you should have 60/80 cows in your barn.

    take your TMR trailer, drive through the barn doors you opened, and dump the food with cn_RB + cn_Y. drive out, top up at the MBS, and repeat with the next trailer.

    topping up before the trailer is empty means you don't have to reselect the option, as it automatically refills what is in the trailer.

    speed up the game time to 240x or 360x.

    cn_start and using cn_RB or cn_LB to toggle to the "Animals" tab, you can check the food, health and reproduction levels and also slurry levels.

    fill up the slurry tank you parked under the pipe to remove it in order to maintain reproduction levels. if the tank is full before your breeding finishes, you can either drive away and un-hinge the tank for later use or simply sell the slurry tank with the slurry inside (cn_back and using cn_LB or cn_RB to toggle to "Owned Items" then selecting "Slurry Tanks") and buying another tanker.

    repeat with driving the trailers for every food type inside and refilling the food, and filling the slurry tank. i found it easier to deliver each of the foods, then hop in and fill the slurry tank in that order.

    this may seem like, ALOT, and i'm sorry (i originally wrote this to help my brother out), but it really isn't, and your achievement should pop once 20 cows have been born.

    it took me, maybe, 10-15 minutes after the initial setup with game speed to 360x headspin

    BusschLatteIt only seems like a lot for people who didn't have to do this in FS 19. Good guide. The Multifruit buying station and new cow barn make this achievement cake. Good guide.

    xSAMMY the SEALSo for some reason about 5 mths in my cows health dropped to 0 % and would not go up .So I sold those cows and started again this time only using TMR pellets and Straw and the Slurry run it worked , so I can say you don't need hay and grass.

    CAVEMAN12019I just got the achievement on Texas flats i had all 4 cattle breeds on there and just fed them and sped up time and skipped several months by sleeping 4-5 times and never had a single new cattle born and still unlocked the achievement.
