Quick answer

The Livestock update added cows and sheep together with products and breeding/genetics systems. Treat this as dated update content: start from the official October 1, 2026 notes, then verify every recipe, output, and breeding condition in the current interface before optimizing a farm.

Step-by-step plan

  1. Read the current Livestock update notes and later fixes.
  2. Choose the product or breeding result you want.
  3. Prepare secure space and the required supporting resources.
  4. Record genetics and outputs by animal rather than relying on memory.
  5. Keep the farm maintainable before expanding the herd.

The system is update-sensitive

New systems often receive follow-up balance and bug fixes. A guide should show its verification date and link to the update chain.

Products create different loops

Milk, wool, dung, food recipes, and biofuel support different goals. Organize storage and processing around the product you actually need.

Do not mix plant and animal genetics

Both systems use genetics language, but their rules and interfaces are distinct. Verify claims in the matching official documentation.
