Farming Simulator 19 - How to feed your cows - A Tutorial - Tonight we take an in-depth look at feeding our cows including a look at making all the materials needed and how the equipment works. Check out my Twitch - / vbluguitar
I m a new player on ps4 and ur channel is like finding gold. Thank you for your tutorials. Also I love ur gameplay videos, very chill and funny. Keep it up!
I have been playing the Farming Simulator series since FS15, however it’s always nice seeing how others play the game. You offer many tips and tricks in your excellent videos that show us all how to play the game. I appreciate this video, because it seems each version of FS had its own variation of exactly which ingredients you need to make TMR. Thanks for the information for this version. I wish you and your family, as well as your viewers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Take care all!
This is the most in depth video I've seen for Farming Simulator 19. Thank you much! I'm brand new to cows and haven't even bought any yet, so this tutorial has saved me some headaches!
Thanks for the video. I always look forward to your tutorials. One thing, I don't know if they fixed this or not, but I did see an early tutorial where the guy demonstrated that when it comes to feeding, all you need to give them is the TMR to get 100% productivity. I also saw a video where the guy showed that you could do the cleanup with the first section of the conveyer belt system. Thanks again.
I normally go bales for straw and hay but use the silo for sillage cause with some of the dlc feeding wargons you can fit more than 16000L for the biggest I go 4 hay 1 straw and fill the rest with sillage
Strongly recommend a double silage bunker - you can have one brewing/in-use, whilest you collect the next load in the adjacent bunker - This is one of the biggest gripes I have on FS17 maps. Also an even easier way to clean up sheep and cows - use a loading wagon, pickup the floor food, then dump it right back in the trough!!
season's greetings, arthur. been following the channel since i discovered this game in the middle days of fs15, you literally taught me how to play this game and i don't believe i've ever thanked you properly. By this point (obviously) i've figured out how to feed my cows, but i enjoy the tutorial videos nonetheless. your single player series are my personal favorite on the channel (aside from tutorials and tips and tricks), in honesty you lose me sometimes when you post twitch streams on youtube or play series with other people because i like to hear your thought process as you develop a farm and i feel like i get the most out of those videos. i'll be watching regardless, just wanted you to know the single player (including the ones where you involve the kids) are a definite strength of your channel. you're a great dude and you seem like an awesome dad. keep up the great work and happy holidays!
Definitely going to be more non twitch farms soon - just waiting for more maps - Tombstone will be a non twitch farm once I get the updated version too.
Can you do a video showing the amounts that each animal eats of everything and the production rates it would be really good to see how much you would need before buying animals
Water can also be collected from any standing water source (pond, etc). Also, you don't have to do all 3 feed types for the cows.... You need either TMR (for 100%) or you can have a combination of hay/silage and grass (for 75%).
You can put hay, grass and straw for bed with only a loading wagon imo its not wort 20% to do total mixed ration...its a lot of work if you have a lot of cows, silage and bales take a lot of work too. Very good video. Sorry my bad english...
ran across your videos a couple days ago, and this one when looking for info on what i thought was strange happened to me. I was mowing the grass that grew around my field, and the color was a light green. Then it started raining, and the new grass that was cut was a dark green. I took the windrow and made nice rows, but i noticed the 2 colored grasses didnt mix together, and when i went to round bail it, it would only pick up one color grass at a time. I wrapped the round bails, and that went like normal. Im wondering if there is now a difference, or are both types the same. Now i also have a partial bail of grass, and it wont pick up the other type. Is there a way to remove it from the bailer or will it change to the next type im eventually going to bail?
The crap in the baler will give you a full bale of that material no matter what you put in it, and then switch - so if you have grass, and collect straw, you will have 1 grass bale and then once its cleared out, the rest will be straw. The dark material is grass, the lighter green material is hay. if you tedder grass (using a tedder) it turns to hay. I find it strange that you were getting hay when mowing though - are you using a mod mower, or maybe seasons?
If you use TMR you will get 100% productivity if you use hay you get 75% and grass 25% but if you use grass and hay you’ll get 100% so in fs19 you DONT need to have all three
No, that was before the patch- Hay and Grass only get you 80 percent when combined. TMR gets you 90 percent by itself, but needs hay and grass to get 100 - this has changed since 1.2
One of the most convenient mods to use is the TMR silo(ddmodpassion mod)..very handy and available on console (I play ps4) if you have a bunch of cows. You can use a trailer to measure your ingredients into piles for TMR..I'm still experimenting on the best ways to put the stuff into the silo mixer.
I try hard not to use mods in my tutorial videos for compatibility reasons. Once in a while I will throw one in, but I find that people start having issues and then get mad at me when the mods don't work for them lol
I really miss how you could chaff straw with the straw/grass pickup attatchment on the forage harvester in fs2013...it was totally awsome... courseplay mayhem in the bga and silage bunkers... they also ruined the way the bunkers fill after fs13... its silly and not userfriendly... great tutorial and video!
Hey Arthur, this is an off topic question. What set up are you using while playing fs19? Ive been using my mouse and keyboard for a while and want to get a steering wheel, pedals, and that equipment side panel. I have done some research on the g29, g920, and also that complete farm sim bundle from logitech. I'm curious to hear from what you use. Keep making videos they are fun to watch and always enjoy your commentary. I hope to someday play with you.
Hi Jacob - I am so glad you enjoy my videos - I was using a G29, with a G13 side panel and a Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick for the front loader/crane, to be honest - I am just using the Xbox controller for 19 and here is why - I can lounge with controller in hand - After a 2 + session of farming with the steering wheel my back is sore, my legs are sore and I am not really relaxed.
Hi Arthur! I, for one very much appreciate detailed videos, so thank you for how detailed this was. I am relatively new to FS19 and I have a question for you. I am physically disabled so I don't like to do absolutely everything in the game because some of it is just too much work for me, so I like to find easier ways to do them. I also like to get way ahead of the curve in being ready for whatever animal I am getting - ex. with horses I filled three haylofts with straw and hay and got ~66,000 liters of oats done before I got my horses. With cows, I find it easiest to use loose straw and hay and to bale my silage. Do you know how many bales of silage I need for my TMR mix? I have made ~60 bales already but I want to be ahead and if I know how many I will need per feeding, then I can know how many more I need to make before getting the cows. I am getting a small pasture and 50 cows. I also plan on buying the TrailedLine Duo 1814 mixer wagon. Thanks! By the way - you have such a great voice for doing tutorials! :)
Glad to Help Jessica! TMR is pretty easy when you do bales. for the trailed line duo and most mid sized mixers you can either do 2 hay bales + 1 silage bale + 1 straw bale OR 2 silage + 1 hay + 1 straw OR 2 hay + 2 Silage. The overall formula is the same if you are mixing loose materials - its 2 to 1 to 1 - and the 2 can be either hay or silage. The reason you use straw is as "filler" to make the TMR go farther. If you are skipping straw then it can be mixed 2 to 1 or even 2 to 2 (50/50) If you see my alpine farming series I am mixing 2 hay to 1 Silage - no straw.
@@Vbluguitar Thank you! With the loose hay and straw do I just fill them up till the lines go green? And just to make sure - my HAY and STRAW are LOOSE. I have SILAGE bales. Does that change the ratio at all? Do you know offhand how much loose hay and straw the TMR requires? Thanks!
Question: what's a good way to give them loose grass from a bunker? The mixer won't pick it up and you have to drive over it for a wagon which changes it into chaff.
You could shovel it from the ends - don't drive on it. I think that will work. Shovel it back into a tipper or loading wagon. Then dump the wagon into the feed trough.
@@Vbluguitar Upon further experimentation, if you dump loose grass into the bunker it automatically changes to chaff, which I couldn't drop on the feed trough. I pile it alongside the silo now and it works fine, doesn't look out of place, I landscaped a little area for it. In case anyone else wanted to know :)
I would make half of it hay, and the other half silage. Then mix it in a mixer and you will have TMR. Don't forget to add one straw bale to the mix to make it go farther.
Can you just buy the Total Ration in the game? I'm sure it would be expensive but what's the trade-off of your time for producing your own. Seems you could be doing other things to make more money if you freed up your time by buying the feed instead.
You don't need grass for the cows, unless that is all you are gonna feed them. If you want really crappy milk output you can feed them grass, but if you want 80 percent or better, use hay or silage. To get grass, cut it, bale it and place the bales near the feed tray OR cut it, and use a collection wagon to collect it, then dump it into the feed bin.
Depends on the map. If you can't find "free water" like a river or lake, then you can go into your placeable structures and buy a water tank (its bright green). You then use the water trailer to move it from the tank to the trough. Also in this video at 42:35
The ursus autoloaders (I am assuming that is what you are asking about) are in the mod hub - you need to download them to your PC or console and then add them to your game.
SO I know for FS17 you needed Grass AND Hay/Silage AND TMR to get the best results - though TMR would fill both TMR and Hay/Silage bars. In FS19 on the animal status page it lists requirements as 25% Grass, 75% Hay/Silage and 100% TMR - does that mean we can use either Grass AND Hay/Silage OR just TMR to get the same results??
Neil Harbott if you use TMR you will get 100% productivity if you use hay you get 75% and grass 25% but if you use grass and hay you’ll get 100% so in fs19 you DONT need to have all three
lol, you can't have 3 halves. You divide it in to 3rds, so 1/3 of each type. Depends on the field size - that only works if you have a field big enough to provide for your livestock. A small field won't cover 200 cows if you divide it up.
Sometimes on videos where it doesn't matter if its a mod or not (like demoing a plow) I will through in a mod tractor - but I do try to be careful about "how to" videos because most people use cheater mods to get things done.
