How do I obtain animals?

You can ask myFarm friends to send them to you as gifts, or you can purchase them in the Cash Shop. Purchased animals show up in GIFTS as a gift from the King.

How do I care for my animals?

Currently, there is nothing that you need to do for the animals in regards to care. However, that will change as the game develops. Watch the NEWS & UPDATES section of the Community Forum for the latest news.

What is the purpose of the animals?

Currently, you can sell animals once you have purchased a barn. Be aware, the SALE price of the animals is much less than the purchase price. It is best to let your friends send you animals until further animal developments have taken place.

How do I sell my animals?

After purchasing and placing a barn on your farm, you need to refresh your screen, or close the game and go back into it. After doing that, you click on the animal you would like to sell, and a SELL button will show if the animal is able to be sold.

Why do I get less for my animals when I sell them than they cost me to buy?

Bear in mind that items like the barn and the woodshed were designed by the King in an effort to help myFarm farmers that have been playing for a long time. They had, over time, received an excess of free gifts sent to them that they had no way of getting rid of. For those purchasing trees and animals, be it with myFarm cash or credits, selling them is not a viable option. The King has said that this will change in the future. We will have to take care of the animals and trees on our farms by way of watering, feeding etc... This will effect the selling price of these items and prices will vary accordingly. There is no ETA on this at of this point in time.

I have lost an animal on my farm what do I do?

When you acquire new additions to myFarm e.g. buildings, you may accidentally place them on top of smaller animals, like chickens. They could also land up in front of other animals – move your buildings around to check that this hasn't happened to you.

What are those future animal developments?

You will have to care for the animals, they will steadily produce a certain amount of money each day.

I have noticed people have animals on top of their crops – how do I do that?

You need to place your animals on a cleared plot (if you want to use an existing plowed plot, click on the plowing tool and click on the plot – select clear to convert it back to “grass.” Please note that you will be charged $20 myFarm cash for doing this.) Once your animals are placed on the cleared plot, you can now plow the plot they are standing on and plant your crop. If you click on the animal accidentally while harvesting the plot at a later stage and move it, you will have to repeat this procedure all over again.

How can I turn the animals to face a different direction?

You do not have to (and, in fact, cannot) rotate them; each time you refresh the screen, they will be randomly facing one of two directions. Even upon initial placement, they should be randomly assigned a direction; if they are all facing the same way, it is just a temporary coincidence!
