This map for Farming Simulator 22 takes you into the heart of the USA, where the vast landscapes and majestic mountains of Colorado await you. It’s perfect for players who want to specialize in raising cattle on wide pastures.
Crop farming – both on a large and small scale – is also possible.

!! ATTENTION: Life as a rancher is tough.
With the large pastures and space for many cows, you can build your own herd and create your own "branding." In summer, you can simply feed them grass (100% effectiveness). However, be sure to store enough feed for the cold season, such as hay (90% effectiveness). Alternatively, you may need to sell your herd earlier than planned to reduce feed consumption or choose the expensive option of buying hay.
So, plan carefully to determine what's worthwhile.

Create additional income streams through crop farming, contract work, and productions, or by expanding your horse breeding operation. The additional pasture, "Wild Mustang Park," hosts especially valuable animals.

# Features:

# With this map, I’ve fulfilled a dream: the feeling of freedom in cattle farming. I want to give players as much freedom as possible to create their own story on this map, depending on their playstyle. The map offers areas for both beginners and advanced players, and not all fields are helper-friendly.
