The Sheep is the Barn's wool producer, and Marnie sells it once the Barn is a Deluxe Barn. A grown sheep grows a thick coat, which is clipped with Shears to collect Wool. Sheep reward good care more than most animals. A close bond and the Shepherd profession together let a sheep regrow its coat every single day. Wool becomes Cloth in a Loom, and Emily loves Cloth as a gift. Wool and Cloth also fill slots in two Pantry bundles.

Care

A sheep shares the Deluxe Barn with cows, goats, pigs and ostriches. It needs one portion of food a day. When the weather is fine, an open Barn door lets the flock out to graze, and fresh grass gives the best mood of the day. Indoors, the Deluxe Barn's automatic feeder fills the trough with Hay from the Silo.

Sheep come home around 6pm and stay in on rainy days and all through Winter. A Heater in the Barn keeps their mood up on Winter evenings. Shutting the door before the whole flock is inside leaves a sheep stranded for the night. It wakes up grumpy, and a wild animal may take it.

Friendship matters more for sheep than for most barn animals, because it changes how fast the coat grows. Daily petting raises friendship towards five hearts and lifts the mood. Shearing a sheep by hand also adds a small friendship boost each time. The Shepherd profession makes barn animals warm up faster as well.

Marnie sells the Shears for a modest sum. Once Farming reaches level 10, she also sells the Auto-Grabber, which shears every sheep in the Barn overnight. Shearing by hand keeps the extra friendship, while the Auto-Grabber saves time.

Produce

A sheep needs four days of steady meals to grow up. After that, a fed sheep with a reasonably happy mood regrows its coat every three days. High friendship, of four and a half hearts or more, cuts a day from that wait. The Shepherd profession cuts another day. With both, the sheep is ready for shearing every morning.

Each shearing gives one Wool, and better friendship and mood raise the chance of higher quality. The Shepherd profession also helps with quality. Putting the Wool into a Loom makes Cloth in a few hours. Higher-quality Wool has a chance to make two Cloth instead of one. Iridium Wool always makes two, so top-quality Wool gains the most from the Loom.

The Rancher profession adds a fifth to the price of raw Wool. The Artisan profession adds two fifths to Cloth instead.

Wool is an option in the Animal Bundle in the Pantry. Cloth is an option in the Artisan Bundle in the same room. It also goes into the Sewing Machine to make clothing.

Buying

Marnie sells sheep at Marnie's Ranch once a Deluxe Barn stands on the farm. Sheep can also give birth in an upgraded Barn with free space, which grows the flock without another purchase. Pregnancy is switched on or off in each sheep's menu, opened by interacting with it after petting.

Sold at full friendship, a sheep returns about a third more than Marnie charged.

Notes

A well-loved sheep with the Shepherd profession is one of the strongest daily earners in the Barn. It produces Wool as often as a cow produces Milk, and Wool is worth far more.

Once a sheep has eaten a Golden Animal Cracker, its Wool output doubles for good.
