There are some aspects of Farmville that are not entirely intuitive. Many of the things you can buy for your farm are purely for decoration (though you get experience for buying them). One of those items is the fence. At first glance, you might think that you would need fences in order to keep your live stock from running away. Especially after seeing all those messages from other farmers saying “A lonely sheep has wandered onto your farm.” But in fact, your livestock will stay right where you put them. Fences are purely for decoration and are not needed to keep your livestock from escaping.
