Cow Breeding Guide

In order to breed cows in Farmville, a farmer must first have a dairy barn. Then, to breed, you have to place 1 bull and at least 1 cow into the dairy barn to produce a calf.  You cannot place more than 1 bull.  You are not guaranteed a calf, but the more cows in the barn, the better the odds are of getting a calf.

Also, the more cows of a particular breed that you have in your dairy barn, the better your chances of getting a calf from that breed. The bull has no influence on the breed of calf produced, calves will always the same breed as the mother. The only exception to this are for the Referee cows, which both produce just a plain calf.

When you collect milk from you dairy farm, you will be alerted if a calf was found. Sadly, you cannot keep the calves found from your own dairy barns, but the calf will be available for up to 5 neighbors to adopt.

Alas, you are limited to ONLY 1 calf per day no matter how many dairy farms you have!!!

Dairy Barn Harvesting for Millions of Coins:

You can make a TON of coins after level 75 repeatedly harvesting your dairy barns if you fill them full of BELTED COWS.  All you need to do is save up and buy belted cows. Then replace all the cows in a dairy barn with the belted cows but leave the other cows on your farm as 'seed' cows.  Now once a day, you can move the 40, 100% ready, cows on the farm to your dairy barn.  This will ready the barn allowing you to harvest it.  Every belted cow that is in your dairy barn will yield 3000 coins (so 120,000 coins x the number of cows you have outside your dairy farm that are 100% ready...  If all the cows outside are belt cows then 10 harvests is 1.2 million coins...)
