- The mouse can be used for all actions in the game.

Game Goals:
The goal of Dairy Dash is to successfully run a farm by tending to your animals and vegetables. The faster and more efficiently you tend to your animals’ needs, the better your produce, and the better your score.
How to Play:
Step 1 - Feeding:
Animals and vegetables have needs, which are displayed in a thought bubble above their heads. Fulfill animals needs by bringing them food or water. Click on the well to get water, and click on the pile of hay to get feed.
Hint: Giving several animals food or water in succession builds a Chain Bonus, which will give you extra points.Step 2 - Harvesting:
Once animals needs are met, they will give you produce. Harvest the produce and bring it to the barn by clicking on the animal and then on the produce.
Hint: Happier animals give more produce.Step 3 - Special Feed:
Some animals (like cows), need to eat hay instead of normal feed. Click on the feed, then click on the Hay Processing Machine (the large barrel,) to begin the process of making hay.Step 4 - Napping:
After you have collected produce, the animals will take a nap. When the animals are done napping, they will awaken and begin their needs cycle again.Step 5 - Planting Vegetables:
Vegetables like corn and tomatoes need to be planted. Grab seeds at the shed, and then click on the patch of dirt where you want to plant them.Step 6 - Growing Vegetables:
Vegetables, like animals, need water. Some vegetables also need to be weeded. Weed vegetables by clicking on them.
Hint: Bringing several types of produce to the barn in succession will give you a “Stock” Chaining Bonus.Step 7 - Phone calls:
Sometimes the phone will ring and Flo will ask for a specific type of produce. For the rest of that level, that type of produce is worth double points!Bonus Levels:
Some levels are bonus levels. Beat the minigame to continue working at the farm.
Animal Types:
- Chickens - Chickens are very easy animals to maintain. They need grain and water in order to lay their eggs.
- Goats – Goats are fairly mellow by nature. They need hay and water in order to produce goat’s milk, which later is used to make a special goat milk’s cheese.
- White and Brown Cows – White Cows and Brown Cows have a very mellow nature. Each needs baled hay and water. They produce cow’s milk in return.
- Black Cows – Black Cows have a fiery temperament and need a bit of extra care. They need baled hay, water, and quick wash in order to produce cow’s milk.
- Sheep – Sheep are very impatient and fussy animals. They need water, cleaning, and then baled hay to produce wool.
Vegetable Types:
- Tomatoes – Tomatoes are a lovely plant to grow. All it needs is a bit of watering and weeding in order to produce juicy tomatoes!
- Corn – Corn is an easy plant to grow. It needs water, then fertilizer in order to produce ears of corn.
- Pumpkins – Pumpkins are a complex plant. They need water, weeding, then fertilizer to produce our favorite squash.
