To get Large Milk in Stardew Valley, you need to raise cows with a high friendship level and keep them happy. Here is a detailed guide:
How to Get Large Milk
- Build a barn and buy cows from Marnie. Cows start as babies and after about 5 days of daily feeding, they mature and start producing milk.
- Feed cows daily with hay or let them graze on fresh grass outside. Hay can be obtained by cutting grass with a scythe or purchased from Marnie. Building a silo helps store hay for easy feeding.
- Pet your cows daily to increase friendship. Each pet adds +15 friendship points, milking adds +5 points, and letting cows eat outside adds +8 points.
- Only cows with 200 or more friendship points can produce Large Milk.
- Keep cows happy by feeding them every day, letting them graze outside, and providing a heater in the barn during winter to maintain a high mood.
- Avoid losing friendship by not feeding cows, leaving them outside overnight in bad weather, or neglecting to pet them.
- Use a Milk Pail (bought from Marnie) to collect milk from cows.
Additional Tips
- Large Milk sells for 190 gold base price, more than regular milk (125 gold), and can be used to make high-quality cheese.
- Large Milk can sometimes be bought from the Traveling Cart on Fridays and Sundays for 570 to 1,000 gold if you need it early.
- Auto-grabbers and auto-petters can automate milk collection and petting but require higher farming levels and gold.
By consistently feeding, petting, and caring for your cows to maintain high friendship and mood, they will eventually produce Large Milk
