Cow Feed Order is a small gameplay tweak that fixes an annoying issue in cow feeding: when a low-efficiency feed type ends up in the trough, it can sit there and block space for better feed, hurting barn efficiency.
With this mod installed, the game changes the feeding priority so that lower-efficiency feed is always consumed first. This means mistakes like dropping a hay bale into the trough no longer waste capacity, since that feed gets used up before anything else.
On cow pastures, the same logic applies to meadow grass. Cows will only start grazing on meadow grass once every other feed item already in the trough has been fully consumed, keeping feed management more predictable.
This is a good fit for players who manage larger herds and want more control over how feed stock is used, without having to constantly monitor and manually clear the trough.
