A Note Regarding Sheep and Pig Breeding

Howdy farmers! We wanted to give an update to everyone regarding certain kinds of disallowed sheep that have been available in FarmVille as well as a similar issue that appeared with pigs this past weekend. Certain types of sheep and pig colors/patterns not yet released have been improperly distributed in FarmVille; we are currently going through the process of making sure this practice stops. The steps that we have taken are: ·         The methods by which players were able to breed unreleased sheep and pig colors and patterns have been closed. ·          Players who bred sheep and pigs using illicit methods have had their animals revert to their original base colors and no patterns. ·         Pigs and sheep acquired from feed posts (but at some point were generated using illicit methods) will get to retain their unusual colors and patterns. However, attempts to breed with these pigs or sheep will result in default colors and no additional pattern inheritance. Should we release these additional colors or patterns legitimately then players will be able to breed that animal in the appropriate, correct manner. This is not an implication that you or your neighbors have done something wrong. This is a breeding restriction of colors and patterns that as of yet have not intended to be released. So what’s currently allowed to breed and what’s not? ·         Most current colors are allowed but the “flashing” colors are definitely not. ·         Currently Allowed Patterns: o   Sheep §  Plain §  Spotted §  Striped o   Pigs §  Plain §  Spotted Again, the intention is to stop the distribution of colors and patterns that are not currently intended but not to punish our players who have acquired these animals legitimately. When we do release these colors or patterns, you’ll be able to breed with them just as intended. Happy farming!
