Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I don't think it's a bug? Probably?

I just opened the game after the UI sounds disappeared with one of the hotfixes, and now there's a strange "prip" sound after I pet each animal, and milking cows and goats sounds SUPER loud compared to before. I'm not sure if this is by design, but the sound after petting each animal can get obnoxious when you have 8+ animals per building to pet. It might be a sound effect to go with the heart bubble? Just wasn't there before.

Also, since the latest hotfix, shearing sheep no longer makes them close-cropped/pink, and they instead look like the middle day between fresh shear and ready for new shear. Is this on purpose?

#

For reference, this is what my freshly sheared sheep look like now, vs. the close-cropped pink they used to sport

The sheep thing was an adjustment, some players and also management mentioned that pink sheep looked too weird.
Sound issues after latest fix I would make a report about

Thank you! Was wondering if the sheep was an adjustment; I'd looked at the changelog and hadn't seen it, so...

Sometimes not everything makes the patch notes, especially this one was quite big, easy to miss something.
