Can't submit a bug report as I'm using mods, but you may be interested to know I've been able to milk a non-pregnant cow, see screen.
Some context: I just moved my Angus bull into the same enclosure the previous day, as he was Agitated for along time and I had him in a separate area where he couldn't demolish my fences. However, his tooltip said he was not yet ready for mating - when I checked it said 11 hours. Then about 11 hours later, I was able to milk the cows - coincidence, or possible source of bug? His tooltip now has a blank after "Able to mate"
EDIT: my 2nd cow is also ready for milking and not pregnant, although I was expecting her to be soon as I have a bull of her breed - I don't have a Holstein bull though
Ah, that makes much more sense. So basically you can manually feed grass or hay to cows and sheep; animal feed to pigs; and grass, hay or carrots to rabbits. Maybe carrots are the only "veg" the original post I read was referring to... Thanks for looking into the code though

Milk bucket says "too big" when I right‑click, but double‑click works. I think it's fine to drink directly from a bucket, though it could be slower.
An idea has occurred for a buildable Welding item as while playing into the late game and trying to upgrade my base for efficiency. I was looking into multi-story plumbing, which I know is already possible thanks to the Deluxe Bath. However with the change to water remaining tainted while it's plumbed in B42. How about a buildable Boiler? This could function in the same way a deluxe bath does, taking in water from above and depositing it below with plumbing, however be unique as a water container that can also have fuel added to boil the water inside. This alone would be a great addition, if it can do the deluxe bath function too that would be a bonus and take plumbing from an afterthought to a functional part of the late game. Also if it happens to heat the surrounding area more effectively than the antique stove or barrel ovens that would be *chefs kiss*
