Rodeo babies event stratigies

I just wanna say... oh my goodness I'm so happy the stars are back

I was wondering what people thought about waiting for a baby boom day to try to get all those breeding animals. 12 Shetland ponies, white cows and halflingers each seems like a lot.

I've got the PF [been milling since the last BBD, aside from animal food], pink jelly, unlocked breeding runes... but it just seems silly to breed outside of BBD's.
What do you guys think?

 

Wait for BBD definitely And if you have some of the breeding animals: Brown cow, white cow, haflinger or Shetland pony, then sell them now! You can always buy them back cheaper during BBD if you want to

 

Normally BP do have BBD to coincide with a breeding event. Lets hope so but with BP not been nice to their customers recently and not listening one never knows but lets hope so. As for me Ive got more than enough of each not to breed but will be silly of me not to make some extra and show my farmwife I to can make cc's eh Froggy
So glad stars are back imagine the backlash if they did not bring stars back but thats another discussion point

 

Really? the prices for first level donkeys [pack burros?] went sky high during the last event that wanted them. Idk if different markets are different. I know people predicted chickens, pigs and whatever would get high during the Czech roots event but in my market the prices didn't rise at all.

Thanks for the advice about breeding though... never breed outside BBD's

I got tired of waiting for BBD so I tried breeding the wild boar so I could open up cloud row... Even with both runes open it was so awful I wound up buying the second one [I think the wheel gave me the third one]. I just hated throwing all that power food away cause with only one baby per batch it took so many many breeding hotels.

 

If you do not breed you cannot do the event.
It requires breeding to get the Calves and Foals...

 

Oh yeh Bhodho what a stupid oversight on my behalf
How embarrasing it was the thought of making some extra cc's

There are several differences that affect the market dynamic here d5aisy During the last event that required colored donkeys there was now BBD, which makes a huge difference.

Also, as Bhodho said, you will have to breed cows and horses to get the calves and foals to do this event. But the same thing happens every baby breeding event. FAQ come out, prices skyrocket, event starts, people realize they are going to have to do some breeding, then during BBD prices fall a lot

 

I'm wondering. Are we likely to have BBD? I seem to recall we had one event that didn't have BBD even though it was a breeding event.
Such knowledge or lack of it or both affects my strategy...

 

No, we have never had a breeding event without BBD There have been events requiring lots of breeding animals without BBD, but they were not breeding events

 

Lets hope so, every breeding event Ive done there has also been BBD

 

Well, I am counting on it big time have sold all the relevant breeding animals

 

Ahhh, age seems to be catching up with me.
So, for BBD, I will wait, and wait, and wait, and...

 

Thanks Mir85 for the advice I also sold mine ...... and very quickly too

Yup thats true people overlook the fact that they need to breed animals to get calves etc.
Smart farmers like you grab that oppurtunity to make CCs

But can anybody tell me why prices of some more breeding animals like Monkeys,donkey,Turkey etc. are sky rocketing .
Am I missing something

 

O wise one !
O learned one !
(who ever it may be)
Why have you not posted the event requirements ?
We lazy people are eagerly waiting for it. We don't want to use our brain, what if it gets worn out in the process.

 

Monkeys because of the new Sand castle quest, donkeys because they were required in an event and we haven't had a BBD since. Turkeys no idea, they are not super high in my market, but all breeding animals are a bit expensive. There might be several factors, but it has been longer that usual since BBD, and the last six months breeding animals have been required quite often for events.

 

Hmmm ...... So there are multiple factors affecting breeding animal mkt.
Thanks for the indepth analysis.
Happy Farming

 

I love your logic!!

I have like 2 min before I hop in the shower and then rush to get out the door in time, but here is what I figured so far for breeding animals and milled cereal! (Disclaimer... a bit of math is still needed!)

need 12 shetland pony
12 white cow
12 halflingers +6
12 brown cow + 6

58 carrot mash + 86
26 fennel cereal + 46
36 apple oatmeal
24 pear farina

Have a wonderful day all! ~CJ

 

Thanks! that is very useful!

 

thank you CJAT for nice help but dont forget all that we need 120 apple ,900 hay,700 soyabeans,120 pears,800 shoghun and 145 whalnuts to put in to my mill will be so busy it will get in fire

 

I would remind everyone (not that you guys are silly) BUT .... remember if you put say ALL of one kind of baby food in the mill needed say like the 144 carrot cereal needed that none of it will become available until the full amount is milled ........
So i'm thinking I'll do my baby foods milled in the sections of each amount required .... so with hopes wont get hung up waiting on the mill
