Really feed crawdads to cows in Stardew Valley

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?

Best Answer

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.
