Sheep

Bulk	1
Weight	300

Sheep are found in the wild. They can either be picked up or you can attempt to slaughter them (has a high chance of failing and the sheep escaping).

Sheep weigh in at 300 db each.

Use

You can slaughter a sheep to receive:

• 2 leather
• 10 oil
• 6 mutton

Sheep will produce dung when they are in a pen.

Breeding

To successfully breed sheep you must:

• Have a Sheep Pen
• Have onions in your pen
• Have at least 1 male sheep and 1 female sheep in the pen
• Do not have the males and females separated

Sheep will not breed if there are more than 10 in one Sheep Pen

Feeding

Domestic sheep eat onions at a rate of 3 per 3 teppy hours for males, 1 per 3 teppy hours for females (can someone confirm rates please?). Sheep in a Modern Sheep Farm (which doesn't exist yet in Tale 4) can have their diet supplemented with thistle – one deben of thistle automatically converts to 1,000 “thistle bits”, which are consumed at the same rate as onions. If a structure runs out of food, the sheep stop breeding and stop producing dung, and will eventually sicken and die. Death occurs after 3 teppy days without food.

Theories

• Sheep are less likely to reproduce in pens where a slaughter has taken place
  • Recently had more reproducing in the slaughter pen than the non-slaughter pen
  • Probably not true. Sheep do not stud. If you kill a sheep, then you won't get any new sheep until the game reshuffles the pairs. It's not at all clear when this happens.
• Traffic plays a role in reproduction rates (You wouldn't want to be watched either)
  • Probably not true. Mine breed frequently at 59% crowding in an actively used camp.
• The optimal ratio for breeding is 3:3 males:females
• Sheep like Barry Manilow White
