Sheep
In the game's words
How to use it
These herdable animals can be hunted for Food by gatherers - Coureur des Bois, Cree Coureurs, Settlers, Settler Wagons, and Villagers. Unlike wild animals, these animals can be captured and sent back to your colony. If they are alone traveling back to your colony, another player may stumble across them and steal them away from you. Herdable animals "fatten" over time, so the longer they are alive, the more Food they will provide when your gatherers finally hunt them. They will fatten even faster at a Livestock Pen or Village.
History
Scientific Name: Ovis aries Approx. Size: 2 ft, at the shoulder, 100 lb. Diet: Grasses, sedges, lichen, mosses Domesticated sheep have been kept by humans for thousands of years as sources of milk, wool, and meat. They are social creatures and gather in flocks, or mobs, known for blindly following the movement of their groups. In fact, there are distinct roles in the leadership of a mob. "Outliers" act as scouts and risk predation by ranging away from the herd in search of water and grazing. "Bellweathers" are sheep that watch the outliers and follow when it appears the outlier is safe. The rest of the flock then follows the bellweather. Sheep eat plants that other livestock will not and are now used in rotation with other livestock to maximize the grazing of pasture land and also as a form of natural weed control.
