Raising Livestocks

For those of you who want to put in livestocks, do take note that it takes a lot of work. You really need to have the plot to grow your own feeds and thats a lot of plots.

If I were to start as a beginer, I would just grow wheat and bake until I get all the 8000 or 10000k plots.
I am thinking the most profitable expansion after that would be growing potato and making the wine.
(Note: not tested, plus must admit not very interesting.)

Tip1: Have 2 barns, if you vacinated a barn and then move the livestock from the other barns into it. The livestock you moved in does not suffer quality drop. Remember to feed at both barns first so that productivity does not drop. The overall productivity at the destination barn must be higher or equal compared to the original. Note: This is where you use optimun feed, otherwise you need the org opt feed to prevent quality drop but using only 1 barns.

Tip2: Don't try to breed and put in more space until you get the hang of it. I would suggest you breed only after they reach 4* but I know you will go ahead and breed. The lifespan is over 300 weeks so it is ok to keep them long.

Tip3: If you keep only 1 male or 1 male and 1 female, be careful of wild animals. You have to begin anew or from halfway if they get eaten.

I would like to demolish all livestocks if I do not need to do challenges, mission and of course getting those manure. You can see my farm on my personal page.

  1. Yeah, I breed my chickens even though they are still 3* because of the challenges. Well, breeding and culling also makes money so it's not bad.

    I didn't realise you could vaccinate an empty barn and move animals in after. That's cool. But I think instead of using land/money for extra barns I would rather use it to grow ingredients for optimum organic feed. Both ways work, it just depends on preference.

    Your farm is nice. There are so many workshops that I haven't seen before, some of your crops too, like the carrots were great to see for the first time.

  2. The upgraded house is what I like most.
    You need to have 1 livestock in the barn before you can vaccinate.

  3. Thank you for the good livestock tips.

    Your farm is quite large. And like Tami said, so many nice crops.

  5. This is helpful...I think it would be useful then to bulldoze my sheep pen and grow crops for awhile until I get all the properties around my house and up to experienced.
