FarmVille Vineyard Animals: Add a Vineyard Sheep to your collection

A new limited edition item theme has launched in FarmVille this evening, giving farmers the opportunity to purchase a single animal (so far) in this theme. The Vineyard Sheep is available for 20 Farm Cash, and will be available in the game's store for the next two weeks. If you're keeping track, this Vineyard Sheep would make a great partner for your Gumball Sheep, if you picked one up during this year's Valentine's Day event, as their bodies are basically identical, save for the coloring of the "grapes."

Unfortunately, for all of this particular sheep's cuteness, you can't breed this pattern into Lambs as this is simply a Sheep and not specifically labeled as a Ram. Still, if this Sheep goes over well enough, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Vineyard Ram released in the future - perhaps one with a vine pattern running down its side/back?

Either way, if you'd still like to add this Vineyard Sheep to your collection, you'll be rewarded handsomely with 2000 experience points, but again, it will only be around for a limited time. Too bad this isn't an item that's immediately "on sale" upon release, huh?

What do you think of this Vineyard Sheep? Will you purchase one for your collection?

FarmVille Livestock Pen Animals re-released to fill your habitats

If you're looking for a slew of new (ok, re-released) animals to fill your new Livestock Pen in FarmVille, you'll want to check out the game's store within the next five days, as you can choose from a selection of re-released pigs, sheep and goats for a limited time. Here's the full lineup of re-released animals, along with their prices for your reference.

Black Pied Pig - 18 Farm Cash
Alpine Goat - 14 Farm Cash
Latxa Sheep - 20 Farm Cash
Biker Goat - 14 Farm Cash
Fame Sheep - 20 Farm Cash
Chamois Goat - 14 Farm Cash
Island Pig - 16 Farm Cash
Devon Pig - 16 Farm Cash

Again, these animals have been released previously; for instance, the Black Pied Pig was released previously in the German event in 2010 and then again in the Birthday Classics even earlier this year. You'll want to make sure you don't already have these animals on your farm before shelling out the Farm Cash, so you don't run into unnecessary duplicates. Just make sure you shop fast - these little fellas (and ladies) won't be around forever.

Are you going to purchase any of these animals during their brief re-release in the store, or do you already have the best ones on your farm? Sound off in the comments.
