	Ah! Tnx very much. I've had my steward set on autofeed the pets, when in stock, they have been getting daily fed by default. Switching off it now.

If you milk cows every day their health will go down faster, and you need to feed them every day. Plus what happens if you feed them to milk them and no one takes the job? You have to account for that as well.

Cow fields are uber profitable... especially if people sell carcasses at the right price, like 20 f or so.

My principle is to feed animals if their health is at 92% or lower. Could go 90% or even 85% just as well, but I have enough fodder, so...

Thank you, Duke of Earl, for the post and to Nikola, Aingeal, and Mazork for the tips. It is most helpful.
