Animal products

Animal products are items in Ranch Simulator that ranchers get from raising or hunting animals. There are two tiers of products; tier I products are those that are ready to be sold as soon as collected (like eggs and milk), and tier II products need some processing first (like sausages and cheese). To make tier II products, ranchers need tier I products, along with some processing machines, as described below.

## Tier I products

### Eggs

Eggs can be collected by having chickens on your ranch. Fertilized eggs are laid every day at 10:00. Unfertilized eggs are laid every day at 16:00. Both types can be stored in an egg basket or cooler from the general store. Both types may be used in the production of curd or cheese.

Fertilized eggs will only be laid if there is both a chicken and a rooster near one another. To check if an egg is fertilized, you can use an ovoscope purchased at the general store.

Eggs currently sell for $6 each

### Meat

There are 5 meat types in the game: chicken, rooster meat, pork, beef & wild meat. Wild meat is only obtainable through killing wild animals, while the other meat types can be obtained by raising and killing
ranch animals
.

Only chicken, pork and beef can be processed into tier II products, such as sausages or meatballs, using tools like meat grinder, sausage stuffer and cooker. Ranchers will also need a pan for these tools to work. All these tools can be found in the general store.

Rooster meat can also be processed, however when processed, rooster meat turns to chicken meat thus there are no tier II rooster products.

### Milk

Milk can be obtained by having cows or goats on your ranch. Cows produce milk twice a day, at 08:00 and 16:00. To milk a cow, simply install a bucket on a cow and milk it by pressing buttons **A** and **D** repeatedly. For more detail on milking goats and cows, see their pages.

Milk can be used in the production of curd or cheese.

Milk can be stored in buckets, or more conveniently in a milk can, found in the general store.

Cow milk can be sold for $3 per 1.0 unit of milk.

### Honey

Honey can obtained by finding Bee hives that spawn in the world, and collecting them onto a hive frame using a bee smoker. Once collected, the bees need to be placed into a Wooden Beehive in order to produce honey. Honey can be harvested using a Honey Extractor and a barrel, and sold for $4 per .1 unit of honey. A barrel has a maximum capacity of 7.5 or 75 units of honey, for a maximum profit of $300 per full barrel of honey. One full beehive produces 70 units of honey and can be sold for $280.

## Tier II products

As mentioned before, some products have to be processed by ranchers using tools such as the meat grinder and cookers.

### Meatballs

1. To make meatballs, ranchers need at least one of the processable meat types, a pan and a meat grinder (manual or electric).
2. Place down the meat grinder and attach the pan to it.
3. Insert the meat to the grinder; after complete, there will now be some minced meat in the pan.
4. (Optional) ranchers have the option to add milk and/or eggs to this minced meat, **before** taking the mince out of the pan, as there is no way of placing it back in. To add eggs or milk, simply hold whatever you want to add, aim at the pan and press **E**. Adding milk consumes 2 units per minced meat.
5. After adding all the desired ingredients, aim at the pan without holding anything and press **E** to take the meatball.
6. (Optional) this is a raw meatball that can be hung in a meat curing cabinet, and wait for it to cure into a salami meatball.

### Sausages

1. To make sausages, ranchers need at least one of the processable meat types (all except wild meat), a pan, a meat grinder (manual or electric) and a sausage stuffer (manual or electric).
2. Place down the meat grinder and attach the pan to it.
3. Place the meat in the grinder; after grinding, there will now be some minced meat in the pan.
4. (Optional) ranchers have the option to add milk and/or eggs to this minced meat. To add eggs or milk, simply hold whatever you want to add, aim at the pan and press **E**. Adding milk consumes 2 units per pot of minced meat.
5. Aim at the **pan** and pick it up. Be careful here to **not remove the meat from the pan**, as once it's removed there's no way to add it back to the pan, and make it into a sausage.
6. While holding the pan with the minced meat inside, aim at the sausage stuffer and press **E**. Use the stuffer to produce a sausage.
7. (Optional) this is a raw sausage that has two alternate forms:
	* Salami sausage, that can be produced after placing a raw sausage in a meat curing cabinet.
	* Boiled sausage, that can be produced after placing a raw sausage in a pan that has water in it and then placing the pan on the stove.

5. After adding all the desired ingredients, aim at the pan without holding anything and press **E** to cook the mixture.
