'''Sheep''' are common domestic livestock available to most any civilization. Sheep can be [[shearer|sheared]] to yield [[wool]], which can be used to make low-value [[cloth]]. In addition to the standard [[meat industry]] products, sheep also supply wool when [[butcher]]ed.

Rams (male sheep) have two horns which they use for defense (and which your dwarves can use for [[craft]]ing); ewes (female sheep) can be milked, and that milk can then be [[cook]]ed or made into [[cheese]].

Sheep can be [[shearer|sheared]] (or butchered) to yield [[yarn|wool]]. Ewes can also be milked, and that milk can be made into edible [[cheese|cheese]].  Sheep eat far less grass than cattle, and make an excellent base animal for a cheese and cloth industry.

Sheep are [[grazer]]s, and require a moderately-sized [[pasture]] to survive. However, sheep eat far less grass than [[cow|cattle]], making them an excellent base animal for combined meat, cheese, and cloth industries.

When butchered a Ram (male sheep) will give more bones than an Ewe, 10 instead of 8, and will also give 2 horns. Sheep require a [[pasture]] to survive.

Notably, sheep are the smallest creature capable of producing wool, and their wool is equivalent in value to that of all other [[shearable]] creatures.
