Farmville Cows: What’s the Difference?

There are currently four different kinds of cows in Farmville. You can harvest milk from each kind of cow and receive a different number of coins depending on the color of the cow (and thus, the flavor of the milk).

The key to making cows profitable is using the Dairy Farm. Cows by themselves take up a lot of real estate. Dairy farms are slightly bigger than one and a half plots, but can hold twenty cows. Additionally, the Dairy Farm lets you harvest all twenty cows at once. This is a huge time saver. With the maximum of five Dairy Farms and a fully loaded Chicken Coop, you can achieve the Zoologist blue ribbon in just six weeks with minimal effort.

So, you want to put as many Alien and Pink Cows in your Dairy Farms as possible.
