Functionality:
These calf huts work just like any other cow husbandry.
Animals can be provided with food, water and straw any way you like to - using trailer, bale, pallet, shovel, straw blower... All input triggers are clearly marked.
For better gameplay experience it is recommended to use small tools such as wheelbarrow or small vehicles such as skid steer loader.
To clean the calf enclosure from manure, you have to first move the fence out of the way and position your shovel (or even trailer) Inside of the fence area and hit hit R - start loading (default keybinding - see your controls menu).
Cows in this enclosure does not produce milk and liquid manure, only manure and they require a lot of manual daily care!
Recommendations / requirements:
This mod is designed and make sense only with the "Enhanced Animal System" mod (by Chissel) Or any map that alrady features calves in it.
Mod "More Animal Enclosures Possible (64)" (by modelleicher / Farming Agency) is recommended to use with this mod, so you are able to build multiple calf huts.
In addition, this pack includes also non-functional decorative variants of each calf hut option to decorate you farm if calf tending is not your thing and instead you may like to use them as decoration.
