How to get Oxen in Manor Lords
To get Oxen in Manor Lords, you will need to order an Ox from a Hitching Post/Stable or Livestock Trading Post for 20 Regional Wealth.
Hooded HorseBenefit:
- Transport heavy resources around your village between buildings and to construction sites
- They can be used to plow your fields much faster with the Heavy Plow Development Point upgrade
| Cost to buy | Import price | Export price | Can assign to | Transports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Wealth | 20 Wealth | 10 Wealth | Farmhouse Logging Camp Sawpit | Timber Crops (with Heavy Plow upgrade) |
At the start of your game, you will want to prioritize getting Oxen straight away. You will be constantly constructing buildings as you develop your settlement and the more Oxen you get, the faster you will be able to build these.
The Hitching Post will be the home of your Oxen. They only have space for one Oxen or Horse, so you will need to build more or keep upgrading your Hitching Post to turn them into bigger stables for more storage space.
How to get Horses in Manor Lords
To get Horses in Manor Lords, you will need to order a Horse from a Hitching Post/Stable, Trading Post or Livestock Trading Post for 30 Regional Wealth.
Hooded HorseBenefit: Transport any goods traded as imports or exports for your settlement
| Cost to buy | Import price | Export price | Can assign to | Transports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Wealth | 30 Wealth | 20 Wealth | Trading Post | Imports and exports |
You will need to make sure you have plenty of Horses to be able to trade items quickly as imports or exports. Trading is the best way to get rich in Manor Lords, so being able to export items fast will ensure you can speed up the selling of your items to make Regional Wealth.
Meanwhile, if you suddenly need food or other items, Horses will be vital to import the items quickly.
How to get Sheep and Lambs in Manor Lords
To get Sheep/Lambs in Manor Lords, you will need to order them from a Livestock Trading Post for 30/20 Regional Wealth or breed them using the Sheepbreeding Development Point upgrade.
Hooded HorseBenefit: Sheep can be sheared to produce Wool for clothes or to export for Regional Wealth
| Animal | Import price | Export price |
|---|---|---|
| Sheep | 30 Wealth | 20 Wealth |
| Lamb | 20 Wealth | 10 Wealth |
You can only get Sheep or Lambs by importing them via the Trading Post. However, once you have Sheep, you can then breed more unlimited amounts of Sheep passively with the Sheepbreeding Development Point.
This is one of the best strategies in the game, as you can use this to generate hundreds of Sheep to make Wool to use and export, or just export your excess Sheep for Regional Wealth.
How to get Mules in Manor Lords
To get Mules in Manor Lords, you will need to order a Mule from a Pack Station or Livestock Trading Post for 22 Regional Wealth.

| Cost to buy | Import price | Export price | Can assign to | Transports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 Wealth | 22 Wealth | 12 Wealth | Pack Station | Goods between two of your Regions |
Mules will become important in the later stages of your game when you have claimed two or more Regions. This is especially key when you have just taken over a Region, as you will need certain goods to fast-track your new settlement’s growth. For example, at the start, having plenty of Timber nearby will be vital to constructing buildings quickly.
You will need a Pack Station at each of your Claimed Regions to be able to set up a Barter Connection between them. This will allow you to send and receive 20 goods per trip for each Mule you own.
