How To Feed Animals In Cult Of The Lamb Woolhaven DLC

Animals must be fed, otherwise they will starve. You can feed them any of the available options, but each individual animal has a favorite food, which you can determine by feeding them different types of food. This requires the Lamb to experiment with the ranch animals, though, so it’s not always worth the time.

The favorite food will trigger a heart animation, and it will be marked with a heart symbol the next time you attempt to feed them, so you won’t have to memorize it manually.

Later, you can also build a Trough, so the animals can feed themselves.​​​​​​​
