Farm Animals

All barn animals must be bought as babies and chickens can only be bought as adults. You may buy miracle potions for cows, sheep, and horses from Blue Sky Ranch which will make your animal pregnant and unable to produce items until they give birth. Chicks can be obtained from placing an egg in the coop's incubator.

Chickens

Chickens are easy animals to raise, make sure to pick your chickens up everyday and feed them and they will get attached to you in no time!

Chickens should be fed chicken feed which you can buy from Blue Sky Ranch for 10G a piece or make yourself using a windmill and corn. The windmill produces several pieces of chicken feed per ear of corn. Chickens can also be fed weeds but this doesn't give as much affection as chicken feed. Chickens only lay eggs if they are inside the coop when the day ends.

Sheep

Sheep in this game are pretty much like sheep in the other games. You buy them as lambs and as you brush them and talk to them everyday and soon they'll have grown up before your eyes. Sheep are funny and love to leap up and down when happy. You can also keep sheep outside for days and nights and even in the rain, but you have to be careful otherwise the sheep might get ill, then you'd have to buy some medicine. You can use the shears from the Junk Shop as soon as your sheep is fully grown. As its affection for you rises, so will the quality of its wool, going from dirty to clean and selling for more.

If you want you can also buy a yarn maker to turn your wool into yarn. Yarn can be dyed with the dyeing pot and an additional item such as a flower or herb. This also increases its selling price. You can buy the dyeing pot from the Junk Shop.

Sheep regrow their wool every 7 days. You cannot use a miracle potion on a sheep that has been sheared.

Wool

  • Dull – 300G
  • Good – 330G
  • Shiny – 430G

Yarn

  • Dull - 840G
  • Good – 1200G
  • Special – 2000G

Horses

Horses do not produce any items, they are used for racing. Horses require 2 hearts before they will let you ride them. Only adult horses can be ridden. The race a horse can enter is determined by their affection level not their star level. It's beneficial to have horses of varying levels of affection so you can enter lower ranked cups for the prizes, one of which has a power berry as its prize.

Despite other characters having horses of different colors, you can only obtain one color of horse: Brown.

Pets

In SoH you can get a wide variety of pets, they need no real maintenance and will be ok on their own. If you want your pet to like you pick it up everyday, race it, and it will soon grow affectionate towards you, you can even feed them to make them happier.

Pet 1 - Puppy

On your second day, Ellen will come by your house to give you her puppy, you name it and it will become your first pet. This is, of course, the standard dog seen in almost every Harvest Moon game!

Pet 2 - Pig

Once you buy a barn, an event will occur and you gain a pig, name it and this becomes your second pet. Once your pig has gained more than 3 hearts it will be able to hunt for truffles. It also eats weeds.

Other Characters' Pets

  • Saint Bernard - This dog belongs to Doug and is named John. You first meet him at the horse races and you can later find him in the Perch Inn.
  • Rottweiler - This dog belongs to Jamie and is named Calvervtutrp in the Gamecube version of the game. This was a mistake and the dog was renamed to Calveros in the Wii version. You can find him at Jamie Ranch.

Wild Animals

A cool new feature to the Harvest Moon series is the wild animal system. Now you can actually befriend the wild animals and record their affection towards you! This will affect how they act around you, say you haven't seen the squirrel before it will probably run scared from you, but once you actually befriend it, it will become attached to you and start to follow you around. Sadly, in the Japanese version the wild animals weren't so welcomed because of a very dangerous glitch. To read more about it go to the glitches page.

Once you befriend a certain wild animal to a point, an event will happen at your door one morning from which you can receive a musical note. These events happen at different levels for each wild animal, and some such as the dolphin don't have this event at all.
