Sheep eat food placed in a large trough : dry grass (or hay), grains (except rice), vegetables (except parsnips), or fruit mash. When the Block info HUD says ewes are ready to mate, they need to eat 10 portions of food from a large trough. After a gestation period of 20 days, ewes bear one lamb at a time, and the chances for male or female are 50/50. Lambs take 336 game-hours to grow up, and ewes will take 4-11 days before they are ready to breed again.
Note that male sheep (and sometimes the females) will always attack players when in close range, and will not stop until after 10 generations of breeding.
