Do my animals need fences?
I have a barn and a coop. Each has several animals in. Because fences keep deteriorating and get in the way, I didn't build any. The animals can roam freely around my farm.
Is there a downside to this? Will the animals eat my crops or escape if I don't enclose them?

Fences will restrict the spread of grass and the movement of animals, so they're primarily useful for making pastures. That said, there's not really any harm in having your animals roam the whole farm except for making it slightly hard to find them.Do you need to fence in cows Stardew?

Nope! Fences are completely optional! The main benefits of adding a fence around your barns/coops is to contain the animals so they don't wander too far away.Pasture animals need fences
