So I built a two level animal farm, and four level mob farm above it, on top of the ocean. Underneath it all, I have about a 50 block deep base where that drops go to. I'm currently working on blowing up all the spawnable grass around the area so just animals spawn on my trap. So far, I've only been able to get 1 or 2 animals every now and then. Couple questions.
How do I stop endermen from spawning on my animal farm and taking the dirt? And how lit up does it have to be for them to spawn? I have glowstone across various parts of the animal farm. Also, do animals despawn after a certain amount of time?
Where the endermen spawn is sort of irrelevant since they can teleport into any area that is 3 blocks tall or taller, whether it is lit or unlit. Keeping the area to less than 3 blocks tall is about the only way I know of to be sure to keep endermen out of it completely. I'm not sure whether or not putting a roof on your farm at 2 blocks tall will impede the spawning of your animals though. As of the 1.8.2 update, the passive animals do not despawn.

Use 2 high spawning pads to stop Endermen from spawning, and as for the animal spawner, 1.8.2 probably rendered it useless. Just wait for the next update with breeding.
