I have been using mods and cc. I removed them from my game and went back and tested it in both a new save and the original save with the issue. I have not been able to replicate it without mods, so it could very well be a mod issue.
I will note that even without the mods it did take the sim some effort to Route properly to the place where they could perform the interaction (Some glitchy movements and a bit of spinning) but they were able to perform the action every time regardless of where the cow was standing! Thank you for your response!
Maybe it was a mod issue last time too which is why I can't find it
I'll move this to the mods forum but just come back if you have more info. Folks at the mods forum will take care of you if you need further help (make sure to read the stickies)
