The Ranchers Animals Database

Animals in The Ranchers split into mammal animals (barns) and oviparous animals (coops). This reference page lists confirmed species, outputs, and housing for Sunvale ranchers. For care tutorials, read the animals guide; for profitability, see the animal tier list.

Mammal animals (barns)

Animal	Product	Housing	Notes
Cattle	Milk	Barn	High value, large footprint
Goats	Milk	Barn	Mid-tier dairy option
Sheep	Wool	Barn	Crafting cloth chains
Rabbits	Fur / meat	Barn	Compact herds

Mammals breed when paired with space and care. Pregnancy timers vary by species. Barn Auto-Feeding Kit recommended at herd size 3+.

Oviparous animals (coops)

Type	Product	Housing	Notes
Hens	Eggs	Coop	Black, brown, white variants
Roosters	Breeding	Coop	Fertilizes eggs for incubation

Coop sizes: small, medium, big, deluxe — capacity scales with tier.

Breeding summary

• Mammals: Pair compatible adults; ensure free barn slots before pregnancy completes
• Poultry: Rooster + hens → fertilized eggs → incubator or natural hatch
• Superior variants may appear from selective breeding (community reports include enhanced dairy lines)

Care requirements

All animals need food, water coverage from towers, and shelter. Neglected animals reduce output. Auto-feeders and central water planning prevent burnout — details in building wiki.

Pets and mounts

Horses serve as mounts for faster travel — not barn livestock in the traditional sense. See vehicles wiki.

Hunting vs ranching

Wild animals exist in exploration zones. Hunting yields separate resources from ranch products and may feed museum donations — see exploration guide.
