What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to get a diary cow that was pregnant so that when it gives birth it will give me milk for consumption and sell, I also bought sofa sets because the ones I had before were the old version and were worn out and in addition to my livestock I also bought an ewe so that when it gives birth I would rear and later sell for future emergencies.
