===========

Brahmins have always been boring in FO4, they're all the same big bright red bull. So this mod aims to change all that by adding 8 brand new coat colors (1 vanilla, 4 common solid coats and 4 rarer speckled coats) as well as Brahman bulls and calves. They all have a chance to spawn from beacons, cages, and Brahmin Trader Kellys, and you'll also find an even greater variety of Brahmins scattered throughout the Commonwealth. The mod includes a new food recipe and furniture items that can be crafted after you find the new custom magazine Successful Farming.

This mod includes:

• Bull and calf.
• 8 new coat colors.
• The Bulls have 4 balls.
• Fresh eyes.
• Cow septum ring.
• NPC pack brahmins are now bullshit, except for Lucas' old girl.
• NPC Brahmins now have names, Kara's bull is now named Angus and Caitlin's bull is called Tabasco.
• Brahmin merchant Kelly will randomly sell cows, bulls and calves of all coat colors.
• 4 Brahmins have been added to Diamond City.
• Workshop Brahmins can now be transferred to different settlements.
• NPC packs Brahmin and Clarabelle are now protected.
• The Abernathy Farm now has a new calf named Buttercup.
• 3 new head mounts (two skulls and a cow head).
• 1 new miscellaneous skull item.
• Farmers now sell bullrings, brahmin hides and skulls.
• 1 new magazine, all recipes are also bundled.
• New food recipe, Brahmin fries.
• New meat found in bulls.
• The Butcher sells new Bull Beef products.
• Hay and trough recipes now require razor grains instead of wood.
• Hay bales, hook posts and feed troughs in Nuka World can now be crafted with new magazines instead of via DLC.
• The trough is now filled with hay.
• 2 new haystacks for Brahmins to use as troughs.
• New haystacks for decoration.
• Added ability to trade with Brahmins in optional add-on.

New magazine finds:

Found in a house in the Sunshine Tidings Co-op.

New furniture can be found in the following categories:

New slot: Resources > Miscellaneous

Head/Skeleton Mounts: Decorations>Wall Decorations>Mounted Creatures

Nuka World: Nuclear Bomb World>Decorations>Dry Rock Canyon

I've included an optional file that allows you to trade with Brahmins, which will allow you to equip the Brahmin Bull Ring. I did this so that you have a mod that adds clothes for a Brahmin and you can easily access the Brahmin's inventory. Not required, but a nice bonus mod.

FAQ/Troubleshooting

=====================

Q: Can you install this mod in the game?

Answer: Yes, but you may come across some Brahman cows without horns. This is because the Brahman uses npc specific attachment points, which I had to change so that the NPC bull would appear correctly in the current save, with horns. Since many cows in real life don't always have horns, I figured this was the best compromise I could make.

Keep in mind that by doing this the Brahmin is likely to lose stock, change coat color, or even turn into a calf.

Q: Can't I uninstall this mod mid-game?

Answer: I won't. You may lose any settlement brahmins you have, i.e. bulls or calves, and use my new coat color. NPC Brahmins should be fine (like Clarabelle and NPC Bag Brahmins …
