Well, that's not so great, but... if the hearts don't go down, then I guess it's alright, but then if you forget to feed it by accident... :(

Yeah, I think the old-style cow would look kind of out of place and I'd want all of my cows to look the same, so I probably wouldn't bother with them. Plus the new cows have serious derp face going on, so I'd have to pick them anyways. :P

No, pretty sure brushing is still there Emily, but now we get a pitchfork to pick up waste ^^... is that a good thing? But anyway, remember?

Looks like I'm gonna have to name one of the newer cows "Derpy" :l But in all seriousness, I think I'll have a mixture of cows just to have different, unique farm animals :P

The new cows are as ugly as sin. Whats with the ugly little hair they have on top? I like the old style cows.

I like the new cows. But I agree, I do not like the little patch of hair on top. I don't understand it... My favorite cows were the one in AWL. They looks more realistic, but still cute. Plus, they would walk towards the fodder dispenser when hungry, lick your face if their hearts were high and so on.

I miss the AWL cows, too.

Out of the two cow styles in ANB, I like the new style over the old style. I wasn't much of a fan of the old style to begin with; the roundness weirded me out for a while (I got used to it later). I do wish that the hair piece on the new cow matched the cow itself better, however.

The "new" cow your talking about is the old cow, the one with the hair, it's from SNES... I think?

(After some searching...) The one with the hair piece is the new cow.
Image <-The SNES (old-style?) cow lacks the hair.

okay... but that is still the old cow, the newest cow still looks like the round thing with splotches... the "new" cow doesn't have hair.

No.... the 'new' cow is the special prize from winning the cow contest, and it's special because it's the 'old' style. The regular cow that you buy from shops in ANB is the one with the bad toupee.

Okay, I'm confused. :? I thought the "new" and "old" referred to styles, so the "new" cow has the hair and the "old" cow is the round one. Perhaps "SNES" and "ANB" would be better descriptions than "old" and "new," respectively...

That's how I refer to them. "Old style" cow and "new style" cow.

*nods* Sorry if I added to the confusion, I was trying to tailor my response to match the terms other people were using.

"old style" = "round" = "SNES version" = cow won as a prize
"new style" = "weird hair" = "ANB version" = cow bought from shop
