'''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. <br />
<br />
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]]. Until grown up, their offspring of both sexes are called lambs.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Notably, sheep are the smallest creature capable of producing wool, and their wool is equivalent in value to that of all other [[shearable]] creatures.<br />
