Will animals eat my crops in Stardew Valley?

No, farm animals in Stardew Valley will not eat your crops, but they will eat grass, and you need to fence them in to keep them from getting lost, blocking your access to farm tiles, and to manage them better, though some players report rare, random crop disappearances (not confirmed as animal-related). The main reason to fence animals is to keep them contained and make them happier by letting them eat grass, which boosts happiness and product quality, or to collect truffles easily, while crows are the real threat to crops.
