The Cow Barn Guide!

6 June 2013 FarmMaster 0

Greetings,
Farmers!

The FarmVille
2 Studio and the Real California Milk association have teamed up together to
bring you the storage building that you have been so eager to get. Introducing,
the Cow Barn! Store your Prized Cows
in this home and feed them all with a single click. If that isn’t enough,
Prized Cows in the Barn will also require less Feed and give +25 Feed Capacity!

Note: The Real California Milk stamp will be visible during the length of

more about the Real California Milk association, click HERE.

button to get started.

Once you have placed the Cow Barn onto your farm, Cornelius will stop by
with an exclusive baby Real CA Cow!

Your new Real CA Cow needs baby bottles to reach adulthood,
just like your other Animals. Once it has matured, it will produce Milk, which can be used in Crafting Kitchen
Recipes.

Note: Your first
Real CA Cow will not count towards your Animal Maximum Capacity.
Additional Real CA Cows can be purchased in the General Store; each additional
Cow will count towards the Animal max cap.

Building
the Cow Barn:

C. Swiss Cheese: How much the Cow will produce (see below: Feeding)

Feeding:

Prized Cows stored in the Barn will eat less Feed
they normally do: 4 Feed for each
Cow, regardless of what type. For example, a Cow that eats 13 Feed outside of the Barn will eat 4 Feed when
inside the Barn.

Swiss Cheese:

Each time you harvest the Cow Barn you will get Swiss Cheese,
which can be used in Crafting Kitchen Recipes. Fill your Cow Barn all the way
to get the most Swiss Cheese when you harvest!

Note: The Swiss
Cheese will automatically go into your Inventory.

Additional
