The first animal you'll be able to buy is a chicken, followed a few levels later by a cow, and then finally a sheep. You may be able to acquire some animals before you're able to buy them though because you will always be able to receive them as gifts. You can ask your friends to give you some animals, or they may just do it all on their own. There are some animals too, like horses for instance, that you can only receive as gifts.
Animals are different from crops in several ways. First of all, they cost a lot and their products sell for very little. For example, a cow will cost you 400 coins, but each time you milk it, you'll only get 6 coins from the milk you sell. Of course, you don't have to buy a new cow every time you milk one. They'll take day or so to be ready for you to milk again, and you'll get another 6 coins out of the deal.
It can take a while to make a profit off of your animals, but eventually you will. It's also just fun to have them around, and you can do more than just milk them. They like to go for walks and are very happy when they get attention from you. You can also sell them if you're really strapped for cash. You won't get what you paid for them, but you'll get enough to help you out in a pinch. And if you acquired them as a gift to begin with, then selling them just gets you some free money.
You also gain experience from buying animals and from selling the milk, eggs, or wool they produce. This is another good reason to invest in some animals if you want to level up fast. You do have to be careful to pen them though. Otherwise they'll wander off and you'll take a loss on your investment. Once in a while, a stray animal will wander onto your farm, and you'll be able to help them find a new home.
