Animals

Important animal care advise: You must feed your animals everyday if they are inside their respective barn/chicken coop. But if you want to put them outside, make sure you have full grown grass on your feild for your cows/sheeps. Also, any cows/sheeps that's put outside after 12pm will not eat the grass, therefore, they will be hungry and will not produce anything the next day.

Dog
Eats: Nothing
Raise Love Points: Pick Up Daily
Life Expectancy: Doesn't Die

You'll receive your dog at the very beginning of the game. Its main purpose is to chase away wild dogs that come to your farm at night when it's a full grown dog. Don't worry too much, the wild dogs usually just break a log if you're using it as a fence. HOWEVER, if you have any other animals outside, the wild dogs can scare them and their Heart Level will decrease. So, always keep your dog outside if any other of your animals are outside. Your dog will be a puppy for the first year or so, after that it will become a full grown adult and stay that way for the rest of the game. Don't forget to pick it up (hug) it everyday. If you press L, you'll whistle for your dog. The more Hearts it has for you, the further away it can hear you call for it.

When your dog is an adult, you are able to play Frisbee with it (you could buy a frisbee from Won for 5000 G). After getting one, pick up your dog, go to Mineral Beach, and talk to the sign(not in winter). Just make sure you have your frisbee in your inventory. The basic idea of the game is to throw the frisbee as far as possible, making sure your dog catches it. The bar on the left has two areas: red and green. Red represents the distance your dog cannot catch, while green represents the area your dog is capable of catching (it won't always get the frisbee even if the arrow is in the green). When the game begins, you try to get the arrow as high as possible while trying to stay in the green area. As you play more and more, the green area becomes larger and your dog can catch the frisbee at longer distances. Sometimes, your dog will stop and begin digging in the sand. In this case, it may find an item. Your dog will become tired of playing after a while, in which you have to pack it up and come back another day. Keep at the game, and you'll easily win the Frisbee Contest during Beach Day (1st of Summer), which will reword you with a power berry.

Horse
Eats: Nothing
Raise Love Points: Talk and Brush Daily
Life Expectancy: Doesn't Die

Consider the horse your second pet of the game, for it never dies or needs to eat anything. Even though the dog is your only friend from the beginning of the game, the horse is more useful them him when he's an adult. Barley will come by your farm during your first Spring on the farm, and give you the horse as a colt (baby). But, don't think it's yours now. Barley will come by the end of the year and check up on how the colt is doing. If the colt's Heart Level isn't at least on 5, Barley will yell at you and take it away. He's eventually return with it, as a full-grown horse, but its Heart Level will be 0. If you've been brushing and talking to it daily, when Barley stops by, he'll allow you to keep it. It'll take about a year to grow to an adult.

Once it has become an adult horse, you will be able to ride it around your farm and be used as a moveable shipping bin. Just like the real shipping bin, you cannot retrieve items placed into its saddle.

If you press L, you'll whistle for your horse. The more Hearts it has for you, the further away it can hear you call for it.

Chicken
Eats: 1 Chicken Feed Daily or Nothing If Left Outside
Raise Love Points: Pick Up Daily
Life Expectancy: 3 - 4 Years

Chickens are the simplest animals to care for and I recommend getting one as soon as possible. One can be purchased for 1500G from the Chicken Farm, and you really only need one for the rest of the game. Just feed your chicken everyday, and it'll lay an egg everyday. Now, place that egg into the incubator to the left wall of your coop and in 3 day for it to hatch as a chick. Chicks DO NOT need to be fed, and will grow up to a chicken in another 7 days. Now keep on repeating the process until you fill up your coop. You can only hold up to 4 chickens when you first begin the game. When you get the extension on the Chicken Coop, you are able to have up to 8 chickens.

There are 3 methods to keep your chickens fed: 1) buy fodder from the Chicken Farm for 10G a piece and place it in their nest, 2) place a piece of corn into the windmill to produce 30 pieces of fodder and place it in their nest, or 3) place the chickens outside in a fenced area on Sunny Days. ...Did you just catch that? Yes. Yes. Yes. You could simply place your chickens on your farming field and they'll feed themselves by eating the worms in the ground. Make sure to fence the area so it'll be easier to collect the eggs and hug them. If it rains in the morning, place them back in their coop and feed them accordingly.

The eggs that the chickens lay come in different sizes and quality, which are sold for different amounts of money.

Name	Requirement	Sell
Small Egg	0-3 Heart Level	50G
Medium Egg	4-7 Heart Level	60G
Large Egg	8-10 Heart Level	80G
Spa-Boiled Egg	Throw any egg into the Hot Springs	80G
Gold Egg	8-10 Heart Level + won Chicken Festival	100G
P-Egg	8-10 Heart Level, won Chicken Festival, had 600+ hours of being outdoors	180G
X-Egg	1 out of 255 chance from a P-Egg Chicken	350G

When you have a chicken that only lays Small and Medium Eggs, I recommend running over to the Hot Springs and throwing them in there. You'll get Spa Boiled Eggs, which will sell for 80G each. If you entered a certain chicken in the Chicken Festival and it won, when it reaches a Heart Level of at least an 8, it will lay Gold Eggs. If you placed your chicken outside for at least 600 game hours along with the Gold Egg requirements, it will lay P Eggs. And every once in a while, that P Egg might be an X Egg.

Once you get the extension on your Chicken Coop, Saibara will now be able to make a Mayonnaise Maker for you. Depending on which type of Egg you drop in there, you'll get a different size and quality of mayonnaise.

Name	Requirement	Sell
Mayonnaise (S)	Drop a Small Egg into MayoMaker	100G
Mayonnaise (M)	Drop a Medium Egg into MayoMaker	150G
Mayonnaise (L)	Drop a Large Egg into MayoMaker	200G

Cow
Eats: 1 Fodder Daily or Tile of Grown Grass Daily if Left On Grass Field
Raise Love Points: Talk, Brush, and Milk Daily
Life Expectancy: 5 - 6 Years

Cows are my second choices of animals because they can be milked everyday when they are adults. Cows can be purchased at the Yodel Ranch for 5000G each, but cannot be milked right away. Purchased cows are not quite adults yet, and you'll have to wait 7 days before you are able to. Like the chickens, only one is needed to fill up your entire Barn. However, it will take a long time to do so. For full details, check out the section on this page Impregnating A Cow/Sheep. Cows eat 1 piece of Fodder each day, which can be purchased from Yodel Ranch for 20G each. Or they can be left outside on full-grown grass fields, in which they will devour 1 square of grass a day. Before expanding your Barn, you could hold a combination of 8 cows and/or sheep. After expansion, the total doubles to 16.

The milk that the cows produce comes in different sizes and quality, which are sold for different amounts of money.

Name	Requirements	Sell
Milk (S)	0-3 Heart Level	100G
Milk (M)	4-7 Heart Level	150G
Milk (L)	8-10 Heart Level	200G
Milk (G)	8-10 Heart Level and won Cow Festival	300G
Milk (P)	8-10 Heart Level, won Cow Festival, had 600+ hours of being outdoors	500G
Milk (X)	1 in 255 chance from a P-Milk Cow	800G

Once you get the extension on your Barn, Saibara will now be able to make a Cheese Maker for you. Depending on which type of Milk you drop in there, you'll get a different size and quality of Cheese.

Name	Requirement	Sell
Cheese (S)	Drop a Small Milk into Cheese Maker	300G
Cheese (M)	Drop a Medium Milk into Cheese Maker	400G
Cheese (L)	Drop a Large Milk into Cheese Maker	500G
Cheese (G)	Drop a Gold Milk into Cheese Maker	600G
Cheese (P)	Drop a P Milk into Cheese Maker	750G
Cheese (X)	Drop a X Milk into Cheese Maker	1500G

Sheep
Eats: 1 Fodder Daily or Tile of Grown Grass Daily if Left On Grass Field
Raise Love Points: Talk and Brush Daily, Shear Wool When It Has Its Coat
Life Expectancy: 5 - 6 Years

I recommend getting the Sheep last of the three livestock, for they cannot give you a byproduct everyday. Sheep can be purchased at the Yodel Ranch for 4000G each, with a full coat on them. If a Sheep has a full coat, you can use the Scissors to trim his wool. It will take about a week for the Wool to grow back. Like the chickens, only one is needed to fill up your entire Barn. However, it will take a long time to do so. For full details, check out the section on this page Impregnating A Cow/Sheep. Sheep eat 1 piece of Fodder each day, which can be purchased from Yodel Ranch for 20G each. Or they can be left outside on full-grown grass fields, in which they will devour 1 square of grass a day. Before expanding your Barn, you could hold a combination of 8 cows and/or sheep. After expansion, the total doubles to 16.

The wool that the sheep produce comes in different sizes and quality, which are sold for different amounts of money.

Name	Requirement	Sell
Small Wool (S)	0-3 Heart Level	100G
Wool (M)	4-7 Heart Level	400G
Wool (L)	8-10 Heart Level	500G
Wool (G)	8-10 Heart Level and won Sheep Festival	600G
Wool (P)	8-10 Heart Level, won Sheep Festival, had 600+ hours of being outdoors	1000G
Wool (X)	1 in 255 chance from a P-Wool Sheep	2000G

Once you get the extension on your Barn, Saibara will now be able to make a Yarn Maker for you. Depending on which type of Wool you drop in there, you'll get a different size and quality of Yarn.

Name	Requirement	Sell
Yarn (S)	Drop a Small Wool into Yarn Maker	300G
Yarn (M)	Drop a Medium Wool into Yarn Maker	700G
Yarn (L)	Drop a Large Wool into Yarn Maker	800G
Yarn (G)	Drop a Gold Wool into Yarn Maker	1000G
Yarn (P)	Drop a P-Wool into Yarn Maker	1500G
Yarn (X)	Drop a X-Wool into Yarn Maker	4000G

Unhappy Animals
If you happened to not feed your livestock (chickens, cows, and sheep) or left them outside in the rain the entire day, they'll become unhappy. Instead of having a heart in the bubble appear over their heads, three dots will appear. Unhappy animals will not produce any byproducts. To make them happy again, feed and care for them properly. Most of the time they'll be happy the next days, but sometimes they become sick.

Sick Animals
You'll know an animal is sick when a skull appears over their heads instead of the heart. Purchase Animal Medicine from either the Chicken Farm or Yodel Ranch for 1000G, and then use it next to the sick animal. If you don't cure a sick animal, they will die after awhile.

Impregnating A Cow/Sheep
Unlike the chicken, cows and sheep give birth to their offspring after pregnancy. In order to even impregnate either of these animals, the cow must be an adult and the sheep must have its full coat. Only then can you use the Sheep or Cow Magic Potion you can purchase from Yodel Farm for 3000G. Use the potion near the desired animal and it'll become pregnant. It'll take 20 days before a baby is born. They'll have either 0 to 4 Hearts when they are born. If you don't like the number of hearts the newborn baby has, save on the day before, and reset the game until you like what you see. Newborn cows will take 14 days to mature into a medium cow and then another 7 days to become adults. Newborn sheep only take 14 days to mature into adults.
