Preview: Water Buffalos + Interview with our Lead Character Artist FS25
You like hoofed, ruminant mammals? Nice. We add water buffalos to the ensemble of farm animals. You’ve already seen them in past trailers and screenshots, but let’s take another look at one of the new animal types for Farming Simulator 25. We also chat with Roman Pelypenko, our Lead Character Artist. Check the interview below. And don’t forget to preorder!
Why Water Buffalos are Awesome
- Water Buffaloes adapt to harsher environments: Hot and humid? No problem. That’s why they feel at home in South/East Asia, for example. Ideal creatures to keep on our new, Asian map! In many cultures, they’re also significant symbols for prosperity.
- They’re high-performance lawn mowers: Grass-eating animals? Not that special. Un-bull-ievable, but true: in Farming Simulator 25, your fields of grass will be cut by grazing livestock. Not just the water buffaloes.
- They’re valuable milk producers: Water buffalo milk is especially rich in fat, protein, and minerals, making it ideal for producing dairy products. Which you can, too.
- They’re social, gentle, and smart: Despite their size and strength, water buffaloes are generally gentle and social animals. They form strong bonds with their herd and handlers and often show a calm and docile temperament.
New Products & Productions
Water buffaloes are mainly used to produce milk. You can of course also keep them for breeding and selling for a profit when dairy production is either not your thing.
But, as buffalo milk and mozzarella are in high demand, you might want to go for it and deliver the fresh milk to new production sites for processing.
Ba-Ba-Baby Buffalos
By the age of 18 months, water buffalos are matured. That’s when they start producing milk. And offspring. They also start reproducing, and tiny baby buffaloes will soon appear in your pastures. Look at how cute they are!
When you buy them from the local animal farmer, you can either get some fresh and cute water buffalos or strong and mighty ones. She can also give you some more information on how water buffalos are properly handled on your farm.
