'''Sheep''' are found in the wild in grassy locations. They can either be picked up or you can attempt to slaughter them (which has a high chance of failing and the sheep escaping). Sheep are 600 db weight and 300 db bulk as well.

== Use ==
Slaughtering a sheep gives:
* 2 [[produces::Leather]]
* 10 [[produces::Oil]]
* 6 [[produces::Mutton]]
* 1 [[Wool]] ''if slaughtered in the field''
* A chance for 1 [[Animal Bone]] (higher chance with higher dexterity)

Sheep will produce [[dung]] when in a pen.

Sheep can be sheared for [[Wool]] when in a pen.
*T9- on 2019/09/21 sheep slaughter was adjusted to no longer provide Wool. Shear before you slaughter.

== Breeding ==
To successfully breed sheep you must:
* Have a [[Sheep Pen]] or [[Modern Sheep Farm]]
* 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]]

Occasionally, the sheep in a [[Sheep Pen]] may contract [[Sheep Pox]]. A [[Sheep Supplement]] is required to cure them. '''Warning: Killing infected sheep will spread the infection to nearby sheep pens.'''

== Feeding ==

Domestic sheep eat [[Onions]] at a rate of 3 per 3 [[Time|teppy hours]] for males, 1 per 3 teppy hours for females.

If a structure runs out of food, the sheep stop breeding and producing dung, and will eventually sicken and die. Death occurs after 3 teppy days without food.

== Dung ==

Sheep produce dung at a rate of 1 per 3 sheep per 3 teppy hours, e.g. 9 sheep produce 3 dung every 3 hours.

== Theories ==
* Shearing (or not shearing) does not seem to affect breeding rates
* Slaughtering does not seem to affect breeding rates
* The optimal ratio for breeding is 3 males and 3 females. 4:4 would leave only enough room in the pen for 2 pairs to reproduce.
* To maximize dung production, fill a pen with just female sheep. A pen with only female sheep produces 2.67 dung per day per sheep, and consumes 8 onions per day per sheep (i.e. 3 onions per dung). Keep a separate breeding pen and manually move new females to your dung pen instead of slaughtering them, until you are producing dung as fast as you need.

==Byproducts==
Depending on your [[Arthropodology]] skill level, slaughtering Sheep may produce [[Skinlicker]]s, [[White Sawfly|White Sawflies]], [[Toad Sawfly|Toad Sawflies]], [[Bat Mite]]s, [[Stone Fly|Stone Flies]], [[Hairy Slug]]s and [[Rose Mite]]s.

==Colors==
In Tale 9, there are a lot of different colours and models of sheep. The picture here shows an example of 6 types in the wild. Uncertain if these are the only configurations of models and colours.
