Jas claims to have fed a crawdad to a cow.

Jas Dialogue: I look for crawdads in the river...

According to Wikipedia, a crawdad is just another name for a crayfish. Since you can catch crayfish in the game, I thought that my bovine companions would be delighted to receive one as a treat. However, when I left or right-click the cow while holding a crayfish, the cow's status box pops up and I can't seem to find a way to hand over the crustacean.

Trying to feed my cow a crayfish

Is Jas just a big fat liar? Can I actually feed crayfish (and potentially other strange things) to my cow? If so, what effect does it have?

    Similarly, Marnie gave me a quest to gather Amaranth because cows love it apparently. I don't know if you can actually do it though.

    I had a similar experience when Willie asked for a tuna and I tried to give him an albacore... Apparently Stardew residents follow different species-naming conventions.

You can't feed crayfish to cows, the only way to interact with them is to pet them or milk them; Jas' story is just more plot.

As an aside, I don't think feeding crayfish to cows is very healthy for either of them.

    We in fact do feed crayfish to cows.

    I don't think being fed to something else is beneficial in any sense at all.

    @MarchHo What do you know! It was forbidden for a while in the EU because of BSE.
