Trying to fill the Almanac but short of the Premium animals?
Our Senior Partnering Correspondents, Gillian and Marjo, have worked out a list of where you can get those normally HS only animals for free...
This can also help if you're doing the wrappers that require 5 animals of a specific weight, as Premium Animals are always the heaviest/best scoring!
We've only listed ways that you can get them reliably, so no one off mission rewards... and most will come from two crates, the Three Year Mystery Trunk and an Expansion Crate, but these are limited rewards and not buyable.
Where possible we've given you tried and tested animal/feed combinations that will get the desired weight, we're constantly testing animals so will add to the list as we find more.
[Please note: there is a small amount of randomness regarding animal weights when partnering. Although any items in this list found by partnering animals to a certain weight have been well tested, there is a margin for error at the top and bottom of each weight.]
