Sheep are easily tameable herbivores with a medium movement speed. Males of the species are referred to as Rams and can be distinguished by their rounded horns, while females are referred to as Ewes and lack horns. Babies of either gender appear identical to ewes and are referred to as Lambs.

Obtaining

Sheep can join the player in a random event, or bought from faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Sheep purchased from traders will be already tamed.

Summary

Sheep are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Sheep can be sheared for Sheep wool 45 sheep wool (Silver 121.5) every 10 days.

Analysis

Wool

Sheep have the highest wool / nutrition ratio of all animals. Sheep produce as much wool as alpacas, but have a lower hunger rate.

An adult sheep eats 7.2 hay per day, which would require 5.2 tiles of haygrass to sustain. Sheep produce 4.5 wool per day. The same 5.2 tiles of cotton plant would produce 3.54 units of cloth per day. Sheep wool is 80% more valuable per unit, making wool more profitable. This becomes further profitable if sheep are allowed to graze.

However, textile supply usually isn't a problem. Cloth can be grown as long as its warm outside and there's soil around. Sheep are more efficient, but you have to actually buy the sheep, which is an opportunity cost on its own. Sheep must also be sheared by an Animals handler, while cloth can be sown normally. IF you don't have anyone good at Animals, sheep produce much less wool.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
