If you currently have “illegal” Sheep or Pigs obtained or “adopted” from your Facebook News Feed (or from a neighbor) such as Flashers, which have not yet been released into the FarmVille Market, these animals will no longer breed to produce the same type offspring. For now, this means that specific patterns such as Star and Flasher Sheep will no longer produce Star or Flasher offspring. However, if and when illegal breeds are actually officially released in FarmVille, then these animals will be able to breed again.
The types of patterned Sheep and Pigs that are allowed include the following:
- Sheep: Plain, Striped, and Spotted
- Pigs: Plain and Spotted
Please understand that most of your neighbors who have these “illegal” animals on their farms did not obtain them through hacks nor or they cheating. There is no need to start a FarmVille witch hunt! The spreading of these unreleased animals was so rampant due to legitimate breeding, sharing, and adopting.
Since so many farmers have these “illegal” animals on their farms in which they obtained through legitimate methods, they will be able to keep them and will not be punished. What FarmVille is doing is trying to prevent continued breeding of animals that they did not intentionally release. They are in the process of patching the original methods (hacks) of how these animals were obtained before they were then bred and shared.
From FarmVille:
“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 Sheep Patterns: Plain, Spotted, Striped
- Currently Allowed Pig Patterns: 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!”

I think that Zynga taking away these types of breeding is a bunch of B.S., we finally have something cool in Farmville, and now they want to take it away! If it's going to be released eventually, why can't they just leave it alone and let it go. There are a lot of people that are very Angry over this. Zynga needs to make a lot of changes And fix all the problems with this game. OR, a lot of people are talking about quitting Farmville, and just not play anymore. Why can't they just be nice for once, instead of using this game as a method of control? There is also a lot of talk about a petition or starting a cause on this. Also, I want to add we are sick and tired of things disappearing from our farms, including cash. And Zynga will not do anything about it. I'm tired of getting automated responses from my E-mails to them. And the unfairness of having to pay cash for all the good things in the market. A lot of us cannot afford to spend our hard Earned money on a game.
i think its all a crock of shit, what differences does it make when you were going to release themm the point is they were a big hit and you should be happy everyone wants them.. i will get rid of all the plain sheep and pigs and have the colored ones.. now you see why some people got rid of the old pig pen from the first farm..i got tired of the same shit.. i hate plain sheep and pigs and if i cant have what i got , than ill sell it all and get rid of it..bring back our flashing color changing sheep and pigs...
Screw you, Zynga...... Boycotting FV unless this decision is reversed,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I completely agree with what Zynga has done.. these sheep were not intended to be released yet, and they lost a lot of money from those that would have waited to buy them. and it was causing a big strain on the system and server as well.. they are protecting themselves.. just be thankful you can still keep those you got legitimately through adopting.. and breeding until now.
