Breeding Livestock
Cultivating fields might just be fine and
dandy, but real farmers know that animals are where it's at. Ain't
nothing better than rising with the sun when the rooster crows to go
feed your hens, shear your sheep and milk your cows.
Farmerama has a ton of different animals for you to choose from and raise. Once you've built some housing for them, there's no telling what they might do.
Animal housing
You need to build animal housing before you can start raising animals. Click on the "Cow" symbol in the navigation menu in the game to see which animals you can buy.
You'll need to build animal housing for each type of animal. So head to the city to visit the carpenter. He's got all your animal housing needs covered.
Once you've bought the right building for your animals and returned from your city trip, click on the "Animal" symbol in the navigation menu. Drag 'n drop the building you bought for your animals onto your field. Every building takes up 4 squares on the grid. You can move animal pens and stalls around on your farm whenever you want.
If you want, you can also buy multiple buildings for the same type of animal. The more buildings you have for animals, the more animals you can have on your farm.
Animal feed
Hungry, thirsty or dirty animals aren't very productive. They'll just stand around doing nothing and won't produce any offspring if you don't take good care of them. That's why it's important for you to you mix feed for them in the mill. Only then can you really start breeding and raising animals.
Feed is composed of several different kinds of plants depending on its complexity.
To feed your animals, just click on their feeding trough. If you want, you can also give your animals water by clicking on the water drop that opens when you click on the animal building. Filling your animals' water troughs will accelerate their growth by 20%. If your water troughs and feeding troughs are full, this means you've done your job.
Once your animals are fully grown, they'll be transferred to the barn. If you click on the barn, you can see how many of each animal you have, and also sell them to customers.
Raising animals is a dirty job. They sure can make a big mess. After you've finished raising an animal, you're going to have to clean out their stalls/pens. Once all the manure has been scooped up, you can breed more offspring. Shoveling manure will pay off in the end for you as you can use it to fertilize your fields later on.
