News: Sheep Limited to 100 Per Farm

So much for our double rainbow of Sheep: Zynga has limited the amount of Sheep you can have on your farm to 100.

For farmers who have bred more than 100 Sheep (Ewes, Rams, and Lambs), a new pop-up is greeting them, stating that they cannot have more than 100 Sheep on their farm at once. We were planning on creating a big rainbow made of a variety of sheep, as we have arranged our Mastery Signs the same way on our main farmland, but that looks to be in the gutter now with this new limit being enforced.

What are your thoughts on this new development? Are you upset by the announcement? We certainly are. Sheep Breeding is one of the few things that has kept us on the English Countryside, as opposed to focusing on our Tree Mastery at our home farm. Since we can only access one farm at a time, this feels like another deterrent from using the English Countryside.

Free Stuff Friday #7: April’s Limited Edition Trees

The English Countryside has arrived, so while many of you have been rubbing your palms together like a crazy, mad scientist, thinking of all of the possibilities you can come up with for Sheep Breeding, we have been watching the trees bloom outside… before immediately getting pelted with snow. Grrr… This winter needs to end already.

That is why we have decided to hold a brand new contest unlike any other in the history of FarmVille Post. We will choose one (1) winner to receive one (1) of every Limited Edition Tree that is released between April 1, 2011 to April 30, 2011! Who knows which cool Trees will be introduced between then? All we know is that you will own ALL of them! Farmer Elsie will instruct the winner on details of how to claim their prize from Zoop after winning, good luck!

In order to win this prize package, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1: First up, Like us on our Facebook page. You can find our Facebook page by clicking here.

Step 2: Leave a comment on our Facebook page telling us what your favorite Tree is in FarmVille. Everybody has their own favorite in their collection, be it the crazy Bubble Gum Trees or the traditionally beautiful Coconut Trees. Let us know what your favorite is!

Our personal favorite Tree in all of FarmVille is the Lychee Tree, as seen above. It was originally made available back in June of 2010 for a very short time, and we managed to grab a single Lychee Tree before it disappeared. It is now available as a RewardVille purchase, which we were definitely excited about. We can’t wait to Master it!

Be sure to tell your friends about us by clicking “Share” on our Facebook statuses and links! We give stuff away every Friday! The cut-off date for entry to this contest is Friday, April 1st at 12:00am sharp, so make sure you enter before then! We will choose a winner on that same date, and they will be contacted by Farming Elsie on Facebook! If you get a message from Farming Elsie, it is 100% legitimate and you have won! We do not declare winners in public due to the fact that our readers’ privacy is very dear to us. At this time, only United States citizens are able to enter. Duplicate entries will result in disqualification, in order to keep things fair. Good luck, and congratulations to this week’s winner!

If you are new to FarmVille Post, please take a look around! You can find our weekly in-depth articles on Crops by searching our Crop Spotlights, like this one on Nachos! If you’re into thorough research for various new features around FarmVille, take a look at our How-to sections, which is deeper than a copy and paste of Zynga’s own community guides. We also review every item that arrives on the Market, usually on Sunday and Wednesday evenings, like this review of this week’s Mystery Game.
