Fields of Mistria Animal Ranching Guide
Before starting with animal husbandry, make sure your farm is ready. You’ll need specific buildings for your animals. Coops are for smaller animals like chickens and rabbits, and barns are for bigger ones like cows and horses. You can buy these buildings from the Carpenter in town, Ryis. Here’s what you’ll need to build them:
| Structure | Required Materials |
| Coop | – Wood x75 – Stone x50 |
| Barn | – Wood x100 – Stone x75 |
Once you have the appropriate housing, animals can be obtained from Hayden’s Shop. When adopting an animal, you have the option to select its gender. Keep in mind that newly acquired animals start as babies and need time to mature before they can produce goods.
