I did not think I would learn much here, but I did learn water is free. I always assumed it still costs money from cisterns and such, so just filled up at lakes and rivers. It is great to see you can pay just a little to put a cistern where it is most convenient.
If you go to the trailer page in the store, the very first one, Strautmann SEK 802, is convertible. You can set it for 4k, 8k, or 12k grain, but you can also set it up as a bale wagon. It costs $8000, and includes tie downs. I haven't checked this out myself, but I have been told that the reproduction rate on the sheep goes up with the number of sheep, but the sheep will not interbreed. So, for the fastest rate you should stick to one kind of sheep. On the other hand, the way you have it, each color is reproducing at the 60hr rate, so after 60 hours, you should have one new baby of each type. Like I said, I have not tried this yet. Once I get 40 more chickens I will convert my chicken farm to sheep. OH, just remembered, the way you cleaned up the feed area with the collection wagon, you can do the same thing with the first section of the conveyer belt system.
The SEK 802 is a good cheap option for starter trailer, as it does double as a flatbed and tipper. If you buy it in 12kl format, it's then free to convert to any format from flatbed, 4kl, 8kl, 12kl - you are no longer charged a service fee, even when using the store workshop. I would guess that you can get 6 wool pallets easily, and maybe up to 15 if you're really good/careful at stacking.
@@neilharbott8394 I have my own repair shop so was not paying for conversions, I did not realize that it was free even at the store. Thanks for the info. It is definitely my most used piece of equipment. When I started with horses I had no way to grow hay, so I bought bales, and this was the way I moved them. Also useful for transport contracts and even eggs. I set it up as a 4k tipper when I wanted to clear some trees that were interfering with fieldwork. The sides were low enough that I could cut the trees into hand size and throw them in, so all I needed was a chainsaw to get rid of the offending trees, made money at the same time.
I use the cotton trailer for my skid steer transport. Kinda cool that its like real life getting on one. You have to push the front of the steer up and walk it on with the boom and tracks. I was leaving it at the store to load my trailer because its so slow.
One thing that I noticed while doing cows is that each different type/color of cow has its own reproduction rate. I am assuming that it is the same for sheep, pigs, and chickens as well. So the more of one color that you have, the faster they will reproduce. So you should factor that into things if you want your animals to reproduce faster or slower. I.e: more of one color for faster reproduction or a more diverse collection for slower, more manageable reproduction rates. Once again, love all your vids and tutorials! Keep up the good work! -countingtrain11
That is true. With about 70 sheep, you get about two sheep a day on one variety. Though looking at his reproduction rate, he was getting one of each every two days, or four sheep. So it factors to be about the same.
Vs FS17, pallets are 1/2 size (1000l vs 2000l), and sell price is about 1/6 per 1000l. What I am unable to determine is whether production rate compares by pallet or by 1000l - it it's by pallet then production would also be 50% of FS17 rates. But they're easy to look after, and solid income over time.
I've just started farming sheep so the video was great and helped me alot, but I have one question about grass. Does it need re-planting after I now it or will it just grow back?
I read that in order for them to reproduce they have to be the same color. Is that true Maybe? Maybe it was only chickens. I'm way too new to know first hand.
Oh wow, I’m so glad I watched this. I will continue to just grow and sell soybeans. It seems that is the bigger profit item in the game. At least for me on the Nintendo Switch version. I have one huge field I sell every time and the 2 original fields I store in the silos until the price gets maxed out.
Yup - sheep are kind of a waste, unless you have like 200 of them. Then you will be bringing in about 10,000 a day. But you gotta have those big numbers.
Has anyone else encountered broken sheep reproduction rates? They reproduce incredibly slow for me. When it should take 20 minutes real time on 120x speed it takes an hour and a half. If I buy a bunch of sheep (60 or more) the time to next animal countdown actually goes up. Its driving me absolutely insane.
the reason they nerfed to price on wool, is because with Cotton being added, to make the work/reward proportional, keeping the wool price where it was, a bale of cotton would have to sell for a quarter of a million dollars
You need a bucket loader for your tractor - just scoop up the food thats on the ground in front of the pen and dump it back in. Do that once or twice a day.
Yes - when you go to buy them from the market (or from the buy trigger at the pen) you should see several different colors available for purchase. Be aware that mixing colors make them breed slower, so you are better with all one color.
@@kingarthursims just because it looked like there's no people but I'm glad farming simulator added people in it. It's a mental question can you talk to them lol 😂
In America Cows are for milk and Cattle are for Meat. Not sure what you would do with a cow that is also a meat cow though. I have never heard a milk cow called a milk cattle though.
The perfect placement of the add really makes it less worse... some proper creator on the fuckin farmin vibe shit... the rest of youtube got to get educated

Yup, the interbreeding is true - the don't interbreed, so if you want faster production stick with on type.
Just saw that you can hitch the fixed axle trailer i think hk302 to that strautmann

Hi Oseh!
To keep reproduction high with the sheep only use one variety
Thank you very much for this video! It really helps. Looking forward to the other videos when I do the other stuff.
My Pleasure Andy!
The Fleigl trailer sits just low enough so that the pallets unload automatically once you drive over the sell point at the spinnery.
Which mod could I get the fleigl from?
I've just started farming sheep so the video was great and helped me alot, but I have one question about grass. Does it need re-planting after I now it or will it just grow back?
Grass will just grow back - no replanting needed.
@@kingarthursims thanks for taking the time to reply, really enjoying your farming sim vids

Hey I drove for swift. But you're not wrong 😂

Where did u find the water pipe? And does it work for all animals that needs water?
On PS4
Its part of the animal extensions mod - its PC only I believe
put wood chips on the ground in front of the feeding trough and you don't have to clean up after them
That's a neat idea
so at this point my pc is good to go i think and farm sim is very close to being downloaded
I Hate to ask, on that cotton trailer to unload, did you try putting it in "Load" position, they may slide right off the back...
Hi,
Are you planning to make a tutorial about pigs?
Yes - I will - they are pretty easy actually.
@@kingarthursims I'm a noob at pigs but sucked in to doing that. Do I REALLY have to find all of that diversity of food for them?
Has anyone else encountered broken sheep reproduction rates?

Oh! Good point!
The dpw 180 trailer should be avalible on console aswell in the modsection of the game
How do I keep my sheep clean?
You need a bucket loader for your tractor - just scoop up the food thats on the ground in front of the pen and dump it back in. Do that once or twice a day.
What map is this?
the default map that comes with the game.
What map is this on?
The base map - Ravenport.
How have you got brown Sheep and black sheep? I don't seem to have them
Yes - when you go to buy them from the market (or from the buy trigger at the pen) you should see several different colors available for purchase. Be aware that mixing colors make them breed slower, so you are better with all one color.
@@kingarthursims all I have is four different white sheep haha
I haven’t found a video yet that talks about cleaning up after the sheep
The game does it automatically
Arthur: If the PEN IS full 13:41
Nobody:
Me: *giggles*
(not sorry that I'm turning 30 soon)
OMG lol
Very helpful
The swift joke 😂
Couldn't resist lol
Is there actually people in the game because I don't seem to see anyone about lol
yeah- they roam around in the towns.
@@kingarthursims just because it looked like there's no people but I'm glad farming simulator added people in it. It's a mental question can you talk to them lol 😂
Haha talk to them I like it fs20 you can talk to them 😂
Don't you also get money for selling sheep? Maybe by selling wool and selling sheep, it makes it more worth the work??
You can definitely sell extra sheep for money - Maybe keep 75 out of 100 and then sell whenever you reach 100.
See gamers say cows i and most people in ireland say cattle
In America Cows are for milk and Cattle are for Meat. Not sure what you would do with a cow that is also a meat cow though. I have never heard a milk cow called a milk cattle though.
36 + 14 equals 60, maths really is not your strong suit :p
Definitely not lol
The perfect placement of the add really makes it less worse... some proper creator on the fuckin farmin vibe shit... the rest of youtube got to get educated
Awesome Vids! I just ran across your channel check-in out Sheep,have ya a Sub n a like
Thanks Nick! Welcome!
You are bad at math... 36 + 14 = 50 LOLOL
Watch this in 1.25 speed thank me later
