Coral Island is a game that revolves around owning a farm and growing crops, but it wouldn't be complete without the option to have a few animals to tend to. From cute little baby cows to llamas, the possibilities are endless when it comes to livestock.

Updated January 4, 2024 by Connie Watson: Now that the full release of Coral Island is out, it is time to update our guide on animal care. Here you'll find everything you need to know about how to get animals, care for them, and how you can make money with animal products.
How To Get Farm Buildings For Animals
Before you can have any farm animals, you must first build them a place to live. You'll need to gather the required materials and gold, then visit Dinda the Carpenter to purchase the farm buildings you want.
Building
Materials
Price
Coop Level 1
- 100 Wood
- 50 Stone
- 5 Bronze Bars
- 10 Fiber
2,000g
Barn Level 1
- 200 Wood
- 100 Stone
- 5 Bronze Bar
- 10 Fiber
3,000g
Stable
- 50 Scrap
- 200 Stone
- 5 Silver Bars
15,000g
Each building will take two game days to complete, and then you can buy your animals.
While you're working on getting your farm buildings, we highly recommend building a silo as soon as you can. It can store up to 300 hay and connects directly to your coop and barn through a hopper. To build one you'll need 20 Scrap, 300 Stone, two Resin, and 2,500 gold.
As you begin collecting animals, leveling up in your Ranching skill, and increasing the town's rank, soon it'll be time to upgrade your farm buildings so you can buy more animals.
To upgrade your barn or coop, go to the Carpenter again and select Edit Farm Buildings. Choose which one you want to upgrade, then select the upgrade option. Once you have the required materials, purchase the upgrade, and in two game days, you'll have your upgraded building.
Here's what you'll need to upgrade your barn and coop:
Building

Coop Level 2
- 20 Hardwood

6,500g
How To Get Animals
Once you have a coop, barn, or stable ready, head to Jack at the Ranch to purchase the animals you want.
At the beginning of the game, you'll only be able to buy three animals, provided you have the necessary housing for them:

How To Care For Animals
Once the animals are on your farm, you will need to feed them daily and pet them to keep them happy.
The happier the animal is, the more likely it will produce larger and better quality products.
You can get hay by cutting grass with your scythe, but you can also buy hay from Jack at the Ranch, along with a few other things that will help with taking care of your animals:
Item
Cost
Use
Hay
30g
Feed this to your animals.
Milk pail
300g
Use this to collect milk from cows and goats.
Shears
400g
Available when you unlock sheep. Use this to shear wool from sheep or llamas.
Animal Medicine
300g
If your animal ever gets sick, give them this.
Animal Whistle
500g
Use this to call an animal to your side.
Temperature machine
600g
Put this in your Coop or Barn to regulate the temperature.
To see how happy your animals are, go to the back of the coop or barn and look at the Animal Book. It'll show you the happiness level for each animal in that building.
How To Get Ranching Upgrades
Once you get your town rank up to E, you'll unlock recipes to buy from Ling at the Lab for advanced equipment that'll make caring for your animals much easier.
Go to the Lab and select Develop Equipment. The recipes you can buy for your animals are:

Coral Island: Beginner Tips
Here are some basic tips and tricks for getting the most out of the first few hours of Coral Island.
PostsHow To Make Money With Farm Animals
All animals (except the horse) produce items that you can sell for some gold. Additionally, you can use them to craft artisan items like Mayonnaise or Butter, for even more income.
Equipment you'll need to make some of the artisan items from animal products:
- Mayonnaise Machine
- Cheese Press
- Mason Jar (Butter and Salted Eggs)
- Loom
- Oil Press
To get higher quality products from your farm animals, talk to Ling at the Lab about upgrading your hay. Higher quality animal produce will also give you higher quality artisan items.
