As you can see, Moose has been eating well in order to produce more milk. However, he ended up with a little more output than expended, and needs an extra hand to manage the load as he stats to top up faster than he can milk himself.

So it seems that most people so far have taken a liking to Moose, and I can’t really blame them, because he’s such a cute moo boy. He’s one of my favourites too, so here’s more about Moose!

He’s a genetically engineered specimen for a selective breeding program to produce greater dairy yield. He’s basically been genetically modified in such a manner that he constantly produces milk in excess of his intake, even in times when food is scarce.

He produces high yields of milk, roughly 5 gallon or so a day. However, if not milked regularly, he continues to swell with milk in exponential amounts, producing more milk than he would if milked regularly. No upper limit has yet been found to how much he can swell. He has uniquely supple, elasticated skin which enables tissue to stretch and return to its original size without damage or irritation. However, soreness and pressure pain from excess swelling can be a frequent problem.

Moose’s high metabolism gives him a naturally large appetite, and is able to eat to greater capacity than most other creatures his size, doing so frequently to maintain healthy milk output. Due to this, his weight fluctuates a lot. It’s common for him to gain his way up to immobility, spend a few months metabolising his excess fat into milk, before returning to his original size.

He’s not only used as a dairy cow, as the process that increases his milk output, has a similar effect on ‘manure’ output. His increased appetite and fast metabolism means that he digests vast amounts of food quickly and efficiently. While a small amount is used on the farm where he works, most is exported for other industrial uses.
