Merchant Animal shop / Market Expected

Livestock Dealer

Where you buy your animals (role — name TBC)

The livestock dealer is your source for new animals — cattle, poultry and more. Expect them to be a key stop as you grow your ranch.

Heads up: named characters for The Ranchers haven’t been revealed yet. This page describes an expected role based on the game’s confirmed systems and genre conventions. We’ll update it with confirmed names and details after launch.

When you’re ready to add animals to your ranch, you’ll need somewhere to buy them — and that points to a livestock dealer. Expect this to be where you pick up your first chickens, your first cattle, and the higher-value animals you graduate to later. See the animals codex for what you can raise.

What to expect

  • A place to purchase animals as your ranch grows.
  • A useful relationship to maintain as a regular customer.
  • Possibly perks or better stock as your standing improves.

As reveals come in, we’ll confirm exactly how buying animals works and who runs the shop.
