Part of the planned content for the Hucow Expansion includes a small amount of interaction with the calves from the other hucows; mostly from the mama cows and quite possibly a cute event or two. Another item is finding out just what they're teaching the little girls in school, and experiencing some of the dilemmas of parenting and public education (in a non-political Appletree sort of way).
Babies and small children are off the table (for now, at least) because it's important to me that caring for children doesn't involve any neglect or abuse, so the necessary work for doing it right is more extensive.However, with hucows, there is an opportunity to be a temporary or adoptive mother to a calf who is older and more self sufficient. Perhaps the real mother is ill (or whatever reason) and they want someone to help care for the child so their whole environment doesn't change. This would give an opportunity to experience some of the calf-related content in a more intimate way, without the full on burden of actual parenthood (and associated game requirements). Functionally, it'll be more like a pet (the Coop being the actual "guardian") that you can talk to and do things with, with some moral choices about how you want to influence her future.I want to gauge the interest in this before putting any work into planning or creating it. If it seems like a popular idea, it'll be easier to lay some of the groundwork early on.
