How to Make Cow in Little Alchemy 1 and 2

The recipes needed to create Cow in both versions of Little Alchemy, plus the other elements it unlocks. 

Cows are arguably one of the best animal resources in the entire world. They provide humans with a source of food and drink; milk and meat. In the Little Alchemy games, they’re also very useful and can be used to create many elements. But how do you make Cow in Little Alchemy? 

Ingredients needed to make Cow 

In Little Alchemy 1, Cow is made by combining 2 elements; Grass and Livestock. In Little Alchemy 2, there are 4 recipe combinations that all use the Livestock element. They are all listed below.  

Game Version	Ingredients	Ingredient Images
Little Alchemy 1	Livestock + Grass
Little Alchemy 2	Livestock + Barn
Little Alchemy 2	Livestock + Field
Little Alchemy 2	Livestock + Farmer
Little Alchemy 2	Livestock + Grass

The Quickest Way to Get to Cow in Little Alchemy 1 

For the first game, you can create Cow in only 11 steps from the start, we have listed each step below.  

1. Water + Air = Rain 
2. Earth + Rain = Plant 
3. Plant + Earth + Grass 
4. Water + Earth = Mud 
5. Mud + Plant = Swamp 
6. Air + Fire = Energy 
7. Swamp + Energy = Life 
8. Earth + Life = Human 
9. Human + Plant = Farmer 
10. Farmer + Life = Livestock 
11. Grass + Livestock = Cow  

The Quickest Way to Get to Cow in Little Alchemy 2 

In the second version of the game, there are lots of new elements and therefore more ways to get to Cow.  

With Time 

You need to be on 100 elements or more to be able to use Time. This is the quickest recipe for making Cow with Time in the recipe. There are 15 steps in this recipe.  

1. Water + Water = Puddle 
2. Puddle + Puddle = Pond 
3. Pond + Pond = Lake 
4. Lake + Lake = Sea 
5. Earth + Sea = Primordial Soup 
6. Primordial Soup + Time = Life 
7. Earth + Earth = Land 
8. Life + Land = Animal 
9. Air + Air = Pressure 
10. Earth + Pressure = Stone 
11. Stone + Fire = Metal 
12. Earth + Metal = Plow 
13. Plow + Earth = Field 
14. Animal + Field = Livestock 
15. Livestock + Field = Cow  

Without Time 

To get to Cow without time, it takes 16 steps. Slightly longer, but perhaps more convenient if you have not yet got to 100 elements throughout the game.  

1. Water + Water = Puddle 
2. Puddle + Puddle = Pond 
3. Pond + Pond = Lake 
4. Lake + Lake = Sea 
5. Earth + Sea = Primordial Soup 
6. Fire + Fire = Energy 
7. Primordial Soup + Energy = Life 
8. Earth + Earth = Land 
9. Life + Land = Animal 
10. Air + Air + = Pressure 
11. Earth + Pressure = Stone 
12. Stone + Fire = Metal 
13. Earth + Metal = Plow 
14. Plow + Earth = Field  
15. Animal + Field = Livestock 
16. Livestock + Field = Cow 

Walkthrough steps to make the necessary ingredients 

To get to Cow, you’ll need Livestock, regardless of game version or recipe. Livestock is relatively easy to get to and requires 9 steps in the first game. In Little Alchemy 2, it takes 14 steps with Time. Without Time, it takes 15 steps.
