* Sheep in a Modern Sheep Farm may be fed thistles in addition to onions. One thistle adds 1000 thistle bits to the trough, which are consumed at the same rate as onions (3 bits every 3 hours for males, 1 bit every three hours for females). Sheep that have thistles to eat are immune to sheep pox. The thistles will require medium (~) or better of two vitamins, and the requirement will change each time thistles are added.

You must know the Modern Sheep Farming skill learned from a University of Worship where it has been researched.

Use

Built in a small construction site.

  • It is much larger, and can accommodate up to 50 sheep before they stop breeding. (unconfirmed from T3)
  • It is much more costly to build, but it may be worth it in place of 3-5+ normal sheep pens.
  • Modern sheep farms can be loaded with thistles to decrease onion consumption by a currently unknown amount. One thistle adds 1000 thistle bits to the trough. Sheep farms have certain thistle requirements -- the thistles must meet two thistle vitamin requirements, different for each farm. These requirements change after any amount of the appropriate thistles are loaded in. In earlier tales, thistles kept sheep from getting diseased with sheep pox.
    • My testing indicates that feeding sheep thistles does not affect onion consumption. Over a 24 hour period, 10 male and 10 female sheep ate 40 onions per 3 hours despite having over 80,000 thistle bits to eat. Then I removed all onions from the trough and they began to starve. 08:11, 25 November 2009 (EST)~Skalops
