As for collectibles not appearing when collecting from animals, I may have been wrong there - perhaps buying animals is the only way to get the animal husbandry and cowboy collectibles. Though, I had a few of these collectibles in my inventory after I collected from my animals, and before I bought any (hence I assumed collecting from the animals gave me the items, though I didn't actually see the items pop out on the screen). So, I dunno really. Has anyone definitely got a collectible form collecting from their animals?[/QUOTE]
I did get my cowboy. It was tough.. I had to buy coin animals . It took a while to get the last one. Watering coin animals also. problem is you cannot water coin animals on the other farms, so
you will need have lots of animals on your own farm to master this one. (at least what I have discovered so far).
