A new building has been added to the structure set in Farmville. But unlike many of the other buildings, this one is actually useful. The Dairy Farm will save you space and time by combining up to 20 of your cows into one structure and collecting their milk all at once. A Dairy Farm will cost you 10,000 coins or 20 Farmville Cash. You can place up to 20 of your cows inside and milk them all with just one click!
To add your cows to the dairy farm, just click on your cow, select move, and click on the Dairy Farm. You should see the building start to sparkle to confirm your cow has been added. You can also see the contents of the Dairy Farm by clicking on the farm and selecting Look Inside.
Note: If you have cows that are ready for milking when you first buy your Dairy Farm, be sure to milk them before placing them in the Dairy Farm. Otherwise, you will lose out on that milk. I acted too quickly and lost out on some coins. Oh well.

I’ve finally gotten my hands on one of those pretty pink cows everyone’s been going crazy over. Here are the details: Strawberry milk from the pink cow harvests in 1 day for 18 coins.
How do you get a pink cow? A pink cow has to wander onto a friend’s farm and that friend has to post it to their facebook feed. Then check your facebook feed for pink cows and click the adopt link. Using the isolated Farmville feed helps a lot. If a pink cow wanders onto your farm, you cannot keep the cow for yourself. You’ll need to post it to your feed for someone else to adopt.

Currently you can buy Cows, Chickens (level 4 required), and Sheep (level 7 required) in Farmville. But let me tell you why its a bad idea to spend your well earned coins on livestock.
A sheep costs 700 coins and harvests for 28 coins every three days. An apple tree also harvests for 28 coins every 3 days, but the purchase cost is only 325 coins. That’s less than half the cost! In addition, the apple tree takes up less square footage on your farm and you can start buying apple trees at level 1.
The story is similar for Cows and Chickens as well. Cows cost 300 coins and harvest every day for 6 coins. For only 225 coins, you can get a Cherry Tree and although it takes twice as long to harvest, it earns more than twice that of a cow at 18 coins. There is no value in purchasing livestock when compared to trees.
