Foremost, they require both food and water. There’s a few things to remember with animals on your farm. Your job doesn’t end with simply buying animals and placing them in a field.

While your cows’ milk is sold automatically every day, you have to transport the wool from your sheep in pallets to the local spinnery. You will also need to transport some of the goods that your animals produce.

If that’s the case, the livestock dealer can deliver the animals to your farm – for a fee of course! Sometimes you might not have the time to transport your newly-purchased animals, or just don’t have the required trailer do so right now. In order to do this, you’ll need an animal trailer and ensure that it’s located near the livestock dealer you’re buying from. In Farming Simulator 17, you can choose to transport any animals you’ve purchased back to your farm yourself. Available animals in Farming Simulator 17 include cows, sheep, chickens and, for the first time in the series, pigs! If you want to take a break from harvesting crops, or if that just isn’t quite your focus, you can take care of animals on your farm. Last time, we talked about the new crops – now, we’d like to introduce the animals you’ll be rearing, transporting and selling in this upcoming installment! As we get ever closer to the release of Farming Simulator 17, we’re unveiling the game’s exciting new features in this series of dev blogs.
