Anyone who plays Stardew Valley knows that animals play a huge part in the game. You are, after all, a farmer. What you probably didn’t know, however, was that different grades of resources are linked to the affection and mood rating of their animals. This is especially true for cows and players looking for Large Milk. Large Milk is the highest grade of milk that players can get from their cows. Not only does it sell well, but it can be used in cooking and other crafts that are high quality as well. The question now is: how does one get large milk?
How to Get Large Milk in Stardew Valley
To get Large Milk, you will have to raise your affection rating with their cows up to five hearts. The heart meter goes up by half and each half is 100 affection points. Affection in an animal can rise a few different ways. First, you should be sure to pet your cows every day. Then, you need to remember to feed them every day as well. You can get extra points if you allow your cows to graze outside as well. However, don’t forget and leave them outside at night. This will drop the majority of affection you raised that day.
For raising an animal’s mood, you really need to do the same things you do for raising affection. You should pet and feed the animals every day. During winter, you will need to put a heater inside their pen. It seems even cows get cold. The best way to raise an animal’s mood is to let them eat outside, however. Once the cow’s affection and mood are maxed out, you will have a higher chance of getting Large Milk than you would otherwise. Getting Large Milk is still a matter of chance, but you will have an easier time when the animal is loved and happy. Let us know in the comments below what you use Large Milk for in Stardew Valley.
