I. Introduction
Animals is part of the game in Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland. They can
provide you food, money, and as a transportation. Animals can be very useful
but it also takes up a lot of time. You would have to feed them, brush them,
talk to them, etc.
II. Animals
There are 4 animals in this game as suppose to be 5 animals in the original
Harvest Moon Game (Harvest Moon Back to Nature-PSX). You can keep a certain
quantities of certain animals but you can only keep one animal such as dog.
You can have 1 dog, 1 horse, 6 chickens, and 5 cows.
A) Horse
Getting a horse is pretty easy. When you go to Brownie Farm, you can
buy things, do the Time-attack, or do part-time job. If you are a
beginner, you would of course pick "do part-time job", by doing so, you
get to go to this Brownie Ranch and do things such as brushing the cows
and horses, milking the cow, and feed them. To get a horse, simply do
part time job everyday, and be friends with Bob by giving him gifts
such as eggs (hint, hint). Actually, you don't have to feed them (you
never have to) but this is optional. Remember $50/hr (another hint,
hint). If you're a newbie, stay as long as you want and you might make
buck buck bucks. There are 5 choices of Horses you want, there's the
light brown horse, the gray horse, the dark brown horse, another medium
brown horse and a cream-colored horse. You can have a chance of getting
one of them but only one, you can't get more than one after getting one
already. To get the one you want, simply talk to one of them and brush
him (don't talk or brush other horses you don't want). When you first
talk to the horse you want, you would say something like "I hope he
doesn't bite." Now in a few days, you should notice that the FIRST
horse you say something positive to, like "You are looking nice today"
or "You are actually really cute" is the horse you will get! (Third
hint, hint) After a few days, Bob would take the horse you want or like
to your farm first thing morning and you get to take care of it.
Remember (fourth hint, hint) Brush your horse everyday
(most important), talk to it, if you get to the fourth heart try to
call it to you, and Ride it often!!!!! You can ride it outside of your
farm if you want, run around the town and REMEMBER THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING!!!! NEVER LET YOUR HORSE STAY OUTSIDE OF RAIN!!!! That could
lower your relationship with your horse!!!!! But instead, when you
check the TV channel to see tomorrow's weather, if it's a sunny day,
just let him stay outside without pushing him back to the barn. Last
thing to remember is to FEED IT EVERYDAY!!! You won't get to ride it at
first, unless your relationship is high enough, you get to ride it
Heart Rates
1 Heart-We are getting along better.
2 Hearts-He can run now.
3 Hearts-He is running faster now.
4 Hearts-Top Speed. He runs like the wind.
5 Hearts-He is confident he won't lose to anyone.
B)Dog
Now all of you might be curious about how to get a dog. For my personal
experience, it had almost taken me about 2 weeks to get a dog. I was
really surprised because I saw a dog running around the forest, then I
thought I would be able to pick it up. I pressed X and I didn't know I
could get a dog by doing this. I named him Doggy and fed him everyday.
Everyone would think that dog is just useless, but on the other hand,
it can be a great help to you. The only useful way of keeping a dog is
to herd the cow. You would have to get a flute first to get the dog to
herd the cow (for more information on how to get a flute check out my
FAQ on this game). Pretend that it's a sunny day today, and its going
to rain tomorrow, you would have to push all the cows back in to their
barn. That would take like FOREVER!!! So in order to make your life
more easier, just play the flute note: Run-Right,Left,Right on the D-
pad. Then your dog would start running to the cows and tell them to get
back to their barn. You would need to have about 4-5 hearts in order
for your dog to herd the cow. There's two kind of dog, one is the
original red one and the second one is the new blue dog. Until you've
reached about 5 hearts to your dog, it would listen to every command
you say.
Heart Rates
1 Heart-He is starting to like me.
2 Hearts-He comes to me when I whistle.
3 Hearts-I think he's starting to run faster now.
4 Hearts-He is getting smarter and he listens to what I say.
5 Hearts-A man's best friend. He is my buddy.
C)Chicken
Chickens are usually the first animal you buy. They are easy to take
care of and cheap! They can be bought at Brownie Farm(Farmer's Shop)
for 500G each, and then the rest you can get for free by incubating the
egg! You have to buy feed for your chicken (10bucks only). When you
remember to feed your chicken and take care of it, it will lay eggs for
you! You can then sell the eggs for 50G each. You can always check its
stat by picking it up and pressing the SELECT key.
Price-500G
Sell Price-300G
Produces: Egg, Golden Egg(Sunny Days)
You can sell your egg for 50G at the Food Shop or the Bar/Cafe

First Saying-I'll take good care of you.
Second Saying-Are you getting stronger?
Third Saying-You are one happy chicken are you?
Fourth Saying-Maybe you will produce a Golden Egg...
D)Cows
Cows are the best animal in this game. For my own personal experience,
almost all of my money comes from the cow's milk. They can be bought at
Brownie Farm (Farmer's Shop) for 2500. First of all, before you even
buy a cow, you MUST buy a milker and a brush. Now, after you've bought
one, brush it everyday, talk to it, feed them, and put them outside
when it's a sunny day. After it's gone up to about 2 hearts, you can
start milking them.
Buy-2,500G

Medium Milk Cow turns into a Large Milk Cow- 11 days
III. Sick/Death of animal
If you don't take care of your animals well, they will eventually be sick, and
will die. The reason could be:
1) You don't feed them
2) You tried to harm it (using hoe or sickle on them)
3) Left them outside when it's raining
The Chicken and the Cow will die sooner than the Horse and the Dog. When you
first purchase a chicken, they will die (they must!!! It's one of the
storylines, don't start crying), in fact them must die. (don't know why but
they must!)You can buy a Animal Potion to cure your Chicken, or your Cow from
being sick. But you can never prevent death from coming upon your animals. So
take care of them well!
IV. Tips/Hints
1) Never leave your animals outside when it's raining
2) Don't wake your animals up at night
3) Feed animals everyday
4) Put it outside when it's sunny
5) Brush them(Cow), Milk them, Ride them(Horse), and talk to them
everyday
6) You can steal some fodder by doing Brownie Farm's part-time job
7) You can ride your horse out in the town
8) NEVER use the hoe or the sickle on your animals
9) You don't have to buy a Chicken, just buy an egg and put it in the
incubator
10) Put the fodder and the Chicken Feed at the right place
11) Grab your dog, and talk to people while holding your dog and the
affection rate with townspeople will increase
V. How to get the Animals outside
Many people are having problems with getting their animal outside. Heres the
answers.
1)Dog - just grab him up and put him wherever you want, you can bring him
inside your house
2)Horse - You can ride him around your farm, the stable and around the town.
You can push his back to wherever you want in your farm (you can't do this
outside of your farm). Do this by pushing him outside or back inside of the
stable.
3)Chicken - Same as Dog but you can't bring them inside your horse
4)Cow - Same as Cow, push their back inside or outside of the stable
