From now on it is possible to simultaneously milk all the dairy ewes in one's sheepfold by checking the box on the left of their name then clicking on the button to milk. Or you can milk your ewes one at a time by clicking on the icon which appears under the picture of each dairy ewe. Once the action has been carried out, the draft icon looks like this :

You can then fill empty feeding bottles available from the hardware store or the market. You need 0.3 litres to fill a feeding bottle. Milk can then either be sold at the market, or given to your sheep.
To fill an empty feeding bottle, click above. A drop down menu will appear in place of your milk pot allowing you to choose the number of feeding bottles you wish to fill. Once selected, click on OK. If you have sufficient milk, you will get the selected number of feeding bottles full of milk.
Caution : If your ewe is milked when the milk pot is already full, the milk obtained is lost!
