Animals that live in barns and coops have a friendship rating that can be seen by right-clicking the animal after petting (while holding hay, you can not open this window which can be useful if you accidently open it a lot) The rating is out of 5 hearts and is shown in half-heart increments, and determines how likely that animal is to produce higher-quality products if that animal is capable of producing them in the first place. Friendship can be raised by daily petting (right-clicking the animal) and feeding.
