Instant Eggs:

You MUST NOT have the golden sickle for this. When you have a

chicken, throw its egg into the wall above the Shipping Box. Cut the egg

out of the wall with the sickle. Put it in the Shipping Box. Repeat the

process until you can't get anymore eggs. You will have many eggs when

you are done.

Cows Grow Faster:

When you buy a cow, start its name with a symbol such as a heart.

It will grow much faster.

Blessed Cow Code:

Pray at the church 10 or more times everyday. Eventually, the

Harvest Goddess will come to you and bless one of your cows, which will

never be unhappy again and automatically produce large milk, if it

doesn't already.

Free Seeds:

When the game asks what gender you are, say girl, and you will

start with 1 bag of turnips, 1 bag of potatoes, one bag of grass, and

the watering can (I'm not sure about this). You can also get the

sprinkler earlier too.

8) Rumors

In the Ranch Center, there is a Golden Hen that lays a golden egg.

You must trade an adult hen with a friend. Keep doing this. There is a

1/64 chance of the chicken you are trading will turn into the golden

hen, which can be sold for 10,000 G.

I know the answer to the rumor about the baby cow in two days trick:

IT DOES NOT WORK. Don't waste your money.

The Livestock Dealer DOES have the Vaccine! It looks just like regular

medicine. You must be in your 2nd year.

If you find where it is sold, email me at [email protected].

9) Glitches

Although there fewer glitches in the GBC version than in the SNES

version, there are still a few glitches that will probably exist in

every game.

Text Glitch

Sometimes the text will be mixed up when someone is speaking to you.

This glitch will not interfere with gameplay much, but is still

annoying.

Too Slow Glitch

When you are with your cows, sometimes the character will suddenly

change from moving fast to moving incredibly slow. This is another

really annoying glitch in the game.

Soggy Mushrooms

When you have the watering can, run out of water and go into the main

cave (the cave with mushrooms). Go next to a mushroom and use the

watering can. It will be immediately refilled!

Harvest Thiefs

When the Harvest Sprite asks if he can upgrade your sickle and hoe, he

sometimes does not give them back, EVER. Simply (I know this is hard, I

had to do it once) restart your game.

If you find any more glitches, please let me know so I can add them to

my FAQ. My email address is [email protected]

5) Animals

Foxes- They just run across the screen. Ignore them.

Frogs- When you mow grass, every once in a while, a frog that was

hiding in the grass will hop away. Just ignore them.

Birds- Sometimes in the morning, there will be three birds outside your

house. When you walk outside, they fly away. Ignore them.

Horse- You find this. When it grows big, you can buy saddlebags for the

horse. You ship items through the saddlebags. The horse is very useful.

Cat/Dog- You start out with this pet. If you have a friend who has a

cat and you have a dog, you can trade your cat for his/her dog with the

GameLink cable. Or you can have a cat and a dog if you trade something

like seeds for the dog.

Chickens- Buy these from the Livestock Dealer. They cost 500 G. If you

feed them every day, they will lay eggs which can be sold for 70 G.

Cows- Buy these from the Livestock Dealer for 5,000 G. If you feed and

brush them daily, they will eventually produce milk. You should also

take outside for a walk every once and a while.

Moles- These things are PESTS! They eat your grass and crops and scare

the crap out of your livestock! There is no way to get rid of them other

than having a dog! You find them every once in a while when you are

plowing your fields.

Squirrels- They just run across the screen. Ignore them.

NOTE: IF YOU START YOUR NAME WITH A CAPITAL LETTER YOU WILL BE ABLE TO

PLANT EGGPLANTS AND CARROTS. IF YOU START YOUR NAME WITH A LOWERCASE

LETTER YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLANT PEANUTS AND BROCCOLI. IF YOU START YOUR

NAME WITH A SYMBOL SUCH AS A HEART, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLANT ALL FOUR

TYPES OF SEEDS.

Grass Seeds: You can buy these seeds from the florist from the beginning

of Spring until the end of Fall. You can plant these seeds any time, but

they will not grow until Spring if they are planted in Winter. Mow grass

when it is ready with the sickle. The mowed grass automatically goes to

the silo where you can feed your livestock with it. One bag of grass

seeds costs 500 G.

ALL SEEDS SPREAD A 3x3 AREA.

Butter Maker: You buy this from the tool shop sometime during the

second year. It turns your cows milk in to butter which is worth 500 G.

It costs 30,000 G.

Cheese Maker: Exactly the same as the butter maker.

stamina and are eaten during meal times (6 A.M., Noon, 6 P.M.). It costs

Golden Hen: According to rumor, there is a golden hen that layed a

golden egg in the ranch center. I have not been able to confirm this

rumor because I do not have any friends who own this game. The golden

egg can be sold for 10,000 G.

Cow: Buy from the Livestock Dealer for 5,000 G.

Chicken: Buy from the Livestock Dealer for 500 G.
