Sat ,12/03/2011FarmVille English Countryside Sheep
The Sheep have been neglected for far too long, and FarmVille is making up for it in the English Countryside!
As we’ve already heard, in the English Countryside, farmers will have the unique ability to Breed Sheep. However, this is not like any other FarmVille breeding we have experienced before, read more to see why. Sheep Breeding will take place in a Sheep Pen which looks similar to the Pig Pen. You can click the “Look Inside” option which will show the sheep housed inside. The plan is for a basic Sheep Pen to hold up to 20 Sheep, while a fully expanded Sheep Pen can house up to 40 Sheep.
The Sheep Pen will be decked out with “Breeding Rooms” for your Sheep to well, breed of course! To breed Sheep, you will simply click on two Sheep and then select “Breed”. If your Sheep produce a Lamb, you will also be given the opportunity to name it! You also will have the option to keep these little Lambs for yourself or give them away to loving homes. That’s not all, Lambs will have the ability to grow up into adult Rams or Ewes if you first feed them properly by nourishing them with Baby Bottles. Baby Bottles are free giftables that can be found on the FarmVille Free Gifts page.
Sheep Breeding has almost endless possibilities – seriously. The offspring combinations that you can produce with Sheep Breeding is in the million range! For the first time ever, we get to experiment with a genealogical factor. Although Sheep Breeding is randomized, there are an overwhelming amount of possibilities and the two Sheep we select for breeding do play a role in determining the offspring. For example, males determine pattern. At the initial rollout of the English Countryside, farmers will start out with 5 different Sheep to start our breeding endeavors.
