Sheep

Sheep are the female counterpart of Rams and can be domesticated and raised by players. Wild Sheep can be found roaming in Forest, Plains, Snow, and Swamp biomes, and they can also be bought from villages, visiting Farmers, and visiting Animal Keepers. Sheep sold by Farmers and Animal Keepers are already tame on purchase.

A Sheep drops Raw Mutton and Wool when killed. Wool can also be obtained with Shears, making Sheep a renewable source of both food and crafting material. Tamed Sheep can be bred when placed near Rams, as long as both animals are tame and ready to breed. To tame a Sheep, it must be fed Wheat by hand over time or with a nearby Feeding Trough. Ropes can be used to lead Sheep and fence them into a pen, which makes managing a flock much easier.

• Wild Sheep appear in the Forest, Plains, Snow, and Swamp biomes.
• They can be purchased from villages, visiting Farmers, and visiting Animal Keepers.
• Killing a Sheep yields Raw Mutton and Wool.
• Wool can also be harvested with Shears instead of killing the animal.
• Tamed Sheep can be bred with tamed Rams when both are ready.
• Sheep become tame after being fed Wheat for a prolonged time.
• Sheep sold by Farmers and Animal Keepers start tame.
• Wool production occurs every 20–30 minutes.
• Breeding interval: 24 minutes.
• Maturation rate: 32 minutes.

Attacking village Sheep enrages the settlers and turns them hostile toward the player, so Sheep in settlements should be treated carefully.
