The Ranchers Animal Database
Pre-launch note: Based on the free demo and official dev updates — we'll update with confirmed numbers within hours of the July 31 Early Access launch. Entries below are demo data, pending launch confirmation; exact animal rosters, products, and prices will be verified in-game on day one.
Search by animal or product, filter by category, and click any column header to sort. Profit/day here means (product price × products per cycle − upkeep per cycle) ÷ cycle days, per animal. New to ranch economics? Read the money-making guide first.
– entries
| Animal | Product | Cycle (days) | Products/cycle | Sell price | Profit/day | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken | Eggs | 1 | 1 | 25 g | 18.00 g | demo data |
| Cow | Milk | 1 | 1 | 60 g | 42.00 g | demo data |
| Goat | Goat milk | 2 | 1 | 90 g | 35.00 g | demo data |

Reminder: animals only profit when upkeep is covered. Buy livestock once your crop income comfortably covers feed — the exact break-even math is built into the profit calculator.
How to use this table
- Poultry is the classic entry point: cheap animals, daily products, fast feedback.
- Dairy trades higher startup cost for steady, higher-value goods — and dairy products are prime candidates for processing if The Ranchers ships artisan machines.
- Livestock with multi-day cycles tends to top the profit/day charts in the mid-game, once you can afford the wait.
