Farm bell

[Guest]

Does this game have a farm bell....so you don't have to keep pushing livestock out of the barn?

Pets with the herding ability will bring animals in & out of the barns at the appropriate times. They start out able to herd 1 animal already; they can eventually manage 10 each.

Thanks for the quick answer....not the one I wanted but at least the pets are better than pushing!~

IMO, they're better than a bell, too, because they bring your animals in even if you're too busy to get back to your farm before the cows get tired and cranky, which a farm bell doesn't do.

Answering the original question. There is a farm bell in the game. You can buy it when you start the second year. While pets are better than the bell, it takes them quite a long time to reach level 10, so if you have too many animals for your animals to herd, it might be worth using the bell while you level the pets up (at least it is better than pushing).

The bell only affects animals close to you. So you may need to use several times to get all your animals moving. In that case, it is advisable that you upgrade it to consume less stamina.
