Animals aint good unless you can use their products in a factory Too bad i cant find a good map with a meat factory

I have gotten a price for clothes for over 30000
Comment from : Melina Merking

Very intresting that there is no reson for giving your cows TMR over hay Yes your getting abit less slurry and manure but with how little it sells for i´m not so sure its worth making TMR when u can instead just give them hay Also Silage sells really good and when not used in TMR can make u alot of cashbrFor the sheep space is gonna be the real issue if u wanna grow the new lambs your getting overtime and sell them at peak value U kinda need a pen with a bigger capacity to not run into space issues everytime your getting new lambs

Cows suck your pockets dry, Sheep are the best one bail of hay every 3 month's
Comment from : RWB RANCH

In March 17, 2023 in the game things have changed Bigtime I am not sure if the game or the mods I can not find the Brown Swiss or the Dairy Sheep for some reason Also the egg production was hit I think it was due to the ducks same with the sheep with the goats I am not even sure animals are worth it any more truthfully We now have Bulls Rams and goats and ducks I do not see the point if you are selling milk and eggs and using them in your productions Questioning is the Ducks Goats worth the pin space?
Comment from : ardith conley

Am playing a beef cattle farm right now I have a 200 and 400 (both modded) cowshed, although a 300 would do as the bigger one as well In the breeding barn I have 2 sets of 66 breeding cows, with reproduction 5 months apart, leaving room for 66 calves Those calves get moved to the large barn, where I just ignore them (no food or water) until they've aged Doing this gets a 5 month cycle, where you sell off the 66 mother cows for a good 200k, move the calves to the aging pasture, take 66 ready to reproduce cows from there to the breeding barn and the cycle is set up You could do with feeding grass for 4 months in the breeding barn and just TMR in the last month before selling, if you really want to min max it You can use this setup with any 2 to 3 ratio barn and use one or more breeding groups The more groups you use, the more efficient you use the space in the barn Just make sure to always leave room for calves, so with one breeding group it's 1/2 the barn size, with 2 it's 1/3, with 3 it's 1/4 etc
Comment from : Haribo

Just bought some sheep Now if you have 65 sheep in the yard and you get a lamb, wil the number show 66 sheep? Or will you not receive it because you sheep barn was maxed out at 65 sheep?
Comment from : Wayne

Me and my friends just started playing on a server and I started up my sheep and horse farm and this will help a lot you really out here doing gods work man keep up the good work
Comment from : John Gleisner

That’s great thank you !
Comment from : Floran Lechauve

Cows don’t need straw You can feed them grass and hay and get 100
Comment from : Kevin Fish

Sell the animals at the same price regardless of the game's difficulty?
Comment from : Klas Rask

Please correct me if I’m wrong but from rearing cows, the most cost effective way is just to feed hay Silage is around 3 times more expensive but does not generate 3 times more slurry or manure Reproduction rates are also equal which means that it costs more to breed
Comment from : Sofian Misadi

Am I understanding your numbers right in thinking there is no advantage to TMR with Beef Cattle unless you want manure or slurry? Purely on selling the animals there is no difference in sale price between TMR fed and Hay fed
Comment from : Myrany

When you add production chainsit gets crazysheep are one of the first animals I get That and chickens
Comment from : Mike A

Fantastic video Just what I was looking for Subbed
Comment from : BikerSi

I always just use slurry an manure on my fields, its like free fertilizer An store bought fertilizer isn't cheap
Comment from : LG Gaming

I always thought these calculations of lamb profits flawed You need free space to be able to breed than raise it to 36, so you are messing a lot to move about all those lambs What i was thinking is just buy as many lambs as possible fully stacking your farms, and sell when fully matured and replace with fresh lambs No messing about, don't see losing money using half empty pen and breeding versus fully stocked bought lambs
Comment from : Baisulis84

I had 4 sheep barns 4 spinnery's and ended up with so much wool that I cant sell it any where I also had the same issue with cotton I ended up selling 2 of the sheep barns and putting in some cows to see how that goes Love the videos thanks for all of the time that you take to make them Just to let you know I'm on FS22
Comment from : Scorpion

Just getting into farming simulator Your videos have helped a ton! Great info provided quickly without BS You deserve way more subs
Comment from : K H

Great video, but I don't think your comparison between selling wool (£107,000) and selling lambs (£520,000) makes much sensebrIf you place a sheep barn, buy the sheep and feed them for 48 months, you are garanteed to get the income from the woolbrIf you want to get £520,000 from selling the lambs, you will have to wait a total of 83 month to sell the last batch (born when the original sheep are 47 month old + 36 months) More importantly you need sheep barns to hold all of those 520 sheep at the same time (8 large barns + the original one), which cost a lot and takes up a lot of space Additionally you have to feed all those 520 sheep for 36 month each
Comment from : Nicolai Heilbuth

I have dairy cows for obvious reasons, sheep for wool and chickens for eggs, I need what they produce more than to sell them so, I mixed 25 adults and 75 kids and the wool is lagging behind, a lot compaired to eggs/adult chicken……I’m getting 8 per adult chicken/month so, my hogs are just for manure/slurry and I got just kids
Comment from : ILHillbilly67

Amazing video! Thank you very much
Comment from : Dawkins

If you buy 65 sheep though qnd max out pen they where will the lambs go ?
Comment from : glen wardle

How are sheep now after the update compared to this video?
Comment from : Dep

Hey buddy! I really love your informational videos about animals, the most thorough numbers I've ever seen! Do you plan to do one for dairy cows too? Would love to see that!
Comment from : Joel Robinson

Great work Scroft :)
Comment from : RustyMoney Gaming

Being from Texas I'm kinda upset they took out the Brahman breed
Comment from : Blackdad Gaming

Thank you for doing these series, they have really been helpful
Comment from : trainmanj

So do you get 2 calves from a cow in the 18-36 month period? If so, ideally you'd sell the cows after the second calf is born to maximize profits while increasing your herd size
Comment from : Alex Kopp(Ramius613) (D53 R&D)

It would make more sense to annotate the number of offspring at the time they're at the highest price rather than just the farthest you held on to them, arbitrarily
Comment from : irishviking 117

Big man really impressive video Would you consider making similar guide on horses?
Comment from : Radek M

Can you fill the pen and still reproduce? I was under the impression that the total number of animals you could have was the number it saysso I guess my question is, if you fill the pen/barn when you first buy cattle or sheep will they still reproduce?
Comment from : Tristan Heisler

Thank You!
Comment from : Captain_Pavlos

If i own FS19 should I upgrade to FS 22
Comment from : ItsYourBoy Juice

You are to FS22 as WackyJacky was to PubG! Countless hours of meticulous effort to provide great data for the everyday user You really have to plan out your farm in this game, so your work is invaluable to us! Thank you for the excellent content! I’d say keep it up, but I don’t want you to get burned out from it lol
Comment from : dnad85

If you fill 65 sheep in your stable and they reproduce, where do the lambs go? If I have a second epmty stable will they automatically move there or do I have to split the sheep on both?brAlso thanks for the detailed explanations
Comment from : Dennis Kunze

Hard mode, cut weed for 2 sheep and make silage for biogas Best way to make cash
Comment from : Dan IlDanba

sheep got a BUFF in 12
Comment from : TheZoepers

Thanks for your very hard work with this and the other animals which has helped me plan the amount of crops I need to grow for all of them
Comment from : AgriArt UK

Did this change with the new patch?
Comment from : Bettermetal830

TMR has the same selling value as Hay? Isn't silage more valuable than hay in fs22?
Comment from : Jeremy Grant

Awesome video brThe only confusing part (or I missed it) is what is the baseline to start with as you have to account for the lambs as you have to wait 36 months until sellinng
Comment from : Xigolle

I don’t understand really how I have to start with sheeps? Like buying half of the barn and wait until they reproduce and sell adults at 35?
Comment from : ISwearSheWas 18

What happens if you have a maxed out pen and the sheep have calves?
Comment from : Godly Devil

If one barn is maxed out, how do you know they replicate? If we build an empty barn, will the sheep or cows that are born be automatically put in the empty one?
Comment from : Kyle A

WOW, this video is extremely helpful and must have taken a long time Thank you so much
Comment from : Kyle A

Great video, great test!brCan you make next test about pigs?
Comment from : Žiga

I have to disagree a bit at the cows, because if you put the average value of TMR/hay, slurry and manure into the calculation, you will see that the most profitable time is before 36monthsbrAt FS19 with seasons, it was around 16-18months And yes, it also depends if you are useing the stable with feeding roboter or mixing the TMR by yourself (cheaper TMR possible)brI'm currently testing and plotting the monthly consumption to give a final answer, but I suppose the best point will be direct after the first calf So if you buy every month 3 calves until your first calves get born, you can sell than every month 3 cows with 27months old and a value of around 3125€ each so in total 112500€ in one year and you have needed less TMR than on older cowsbrbra other way would be to have cows which reproduce, and you sell the newborn when they have reached the maximum profit at, I don't know exactly, 18months or so
Comment from : G - Rex

Cows will eat pine needles to abort their babies and its crazy
Comment from : YL God

Another great video Thanks
Comment from : The Farming Sims

Very helpful, thanks a lot!🙏
Comment from : TsarCasm

We could use a meat packing plant that takes cows sheep n pigs oh n chickens In productions
Comment from : Jamie Ward

IRl you’ll have cows that produce somewhere around 6 calves pretty common for angus So in the game unless you have end of life stuff or repro things happening Wouldn’t it be best to keep them till the 96mo period and just feed them hay after 48mo?
Comment from : Westen Ellingson

Only issue is needing to have room for the calves in the barn If I have a full barn I can't have any calves because there's no room You almost need 2 barns to shuffle them around for room I find it takes a long time to make money on the beef cows
Comment from : Troyp467

I don't typically enjoy watching farm sim on YouTube, it's my most played game but I just don't enjoy a lot of content people make for the game This is an exception I appreciate all the testing Good stuff, you've got a sub from me
Comment from : Troyp467

Why did you not test the older sheep and you would have seen that the black welsh sheep out do the rest in wool production
Comment from : Regan

From all the youtubers I follow for FS, your uploads standout like sore thumb Really love the concrete data that you provide, it not only helps with farm planning but also provides you with all the necessary data to make informed decisions
Comment from : RobZombie

I f you have 65 sheep in your barn , there will be no room for them to breed so not sure your numbers would pan out as you sayyou would need loads of extra sheep barns to keep lambs for 36 months so all your income would probably dissappearbrjust ignore , as I've read some other reply Great videos though , you are producing
Comment from : David M

50 loss of wool when making cloth I guess we all have really dirty sheep
Comment from : Roy Plisko

Factor in the £518,500 for the large pen + all the capital cost of equipment, feed and straw for 4 years and I consider them to be a total waste of time
Comment from : Finbarr Saunders

Great info Very detailed Thank you
Comment from : akimbo

Yeah but how are you going to raise 8 lambs from a sheep when you already have the barn filled to the brim?brbrThe match checks out on paper, just not in practice
Comment from : Dep

Yeah I was wondering if it was worth having cows Thanks scroft
Comment from : Voyager 1

Not read all the coments or watched your breeding cow video yet, but do you need to still leave room in the pens for the animals to breed? ie, will they still breed if you have maxed out the cowshed? Thanks
Comment from : Kwaka

If you want hassle-free animals, sheep and chickens are the way to go All you have to do is raised enough of the single crops that they need to thrive and collect what they producebrbrPersonally I like sheep and chickens in real life so playing the game with headphones on is more enjoyable for me because I get to hear my little sheepies and chickens doing their thing while I am working the farm
Comment from : Kevin Korenke

hi there mr scoft loved your videos on the sheep and the cows can you please do one for the pigs thank you
Comment from : Stuart Barbour

Wool production is a joke
Comment from : Gustavo

Eggs is seriously underrated
Comment from : Johan Lading

Great! thanks for all the hard work! 👍😀brAwesome stuff
Comment from : Centurion

Thanks for the information in this video and the previous milk one, seems like if you wanted to hay could be the "easiest" way to go if you do both the sheep and cows I am just wondering if you have thought about making a video showing the production possibilities available if you decided on milk ? Like what does it take to make a cake (if this is possible)?
Comment from : RoastBeef Al

so realy you should sell after 24 months brgiving you 1,300 profit a year bran the shit shouldn't be sold you need to use that as fertilizer brbrbasically if you're making more shit than what you use your losing profit brTMR can be ignored because it only increases poop production
Comment from : ryan florian

Thanks for another great video
Comment from : Jeff Sandefur

Great content! You sure put a lot of effort into your videos You deserve more than 6k subscribers There's you tubers that make 5-8 min videos and thats it Very vague info and not much info and data
Comment from : Elliott

Based on your numbers, the best time to sell a cow would be 12 months, because they're increasing in value at $134/month for the first 12 months, $115/month for the next 12 months and only increasing by $42/month in the next 12 months, while their food consumption increases a lot after the first year brbrHowever, because you need to also sell your original cows as soon as they reach 36 months, it would be a better strategy to let some of the calves breed before you sell thembrbrSince the cows take 27 months to produce their first calf and eat more than twice as much food after the first year, it might be better to not breed them at all, but just buy new ones after 12 months for a $1,315 profit per cow each year That's only $197,250 profit after 3 years of raising 50 cows per year, compared to the $525,000 you made, but your method takes a lot longer than 3 years (the first calf is ready to sell at month 63, and the third calf is ready to sell at month 81) In 84 months, buying 50 cows per year and selling all of them every year, you can make $460,250 with far less food and fewer barns Each cow that's ready to reproduce needs room in the barn for another cow, requiring a significant investment if you consider the size of your herd after that much time
Comment from : Jim Uicker

Why does the one sheep type cost so much?
Comment from : Devon Jones

Really good vid on this good detail on all aspects I am going back to watch the dairy cattle one now thanks
Comment from : Randy Peppler

If the shed is full with 65 sheep how do you get the lambs? they have nowhere to go
Comment from : Disturbed Simulations

Nice video, finally somone who actually knows what he is talking about, good job,
Comment from : TGalka

Great informative video! Thanks a lot for the effort!
Comment from : Pedro Teixeira

Thanks, Scroft!! Good information!!
Comment from : Xyberwolf

i have questions do beef cows produce milk? sry if you said that in the video, there is a lot of information to deal with I may have missed thatbrand if i want to have a more steady income, is it best to stagger the purchase of the cows? so maybe 5 cows a month so i can sell some every month later on?brlast question, multiple stables required or can you work with just one of the big ones? 150 caddle sounds like i need more space to be able to reach a full circle in 36months
Comment from : FalconDS9

Great video! I love these kind of details and numbers
Comment from : USMCArchAngel03

Is the best time to sell not 18 months after that they stop doubling their money see your only paying 300 for them and the feed cost aswell
Comment from : Fergal Fitzpatrick

Just the video I was hoping for!brbrBut what an insane amount of work you must have put into this again, thank you sir 🙏
Comment from : Subucaj

Great vid, not entirely sure eheee you intend on Storing 500 sheep though 😂😂 I sell mine at 7 months, means I don’t have to have loads of barns? Plus lambs are sold around that Time irl as far as I know
Comment from : Keith H

Thanks for taking the time once again to do this testing Now I can plan out my farm with more confidence Currently, I am getting both Slurry and manure without putting in straw
Comment from : Daryl Davis

Wouldn't it make more sense to sell the sheep after 48 months? You get two more lambs, and they also produced the most amount of wool between 36-48 months
Comment from : Kyle Nelson

Great!
