Bighorn sheep are one of the common animals found in the world, and are a source of redmeat, fat, hide, and bones.

Spawning

Bighorn sheep will spawn in light levels 10 and higher, at temperatures between -10 and 20, and in areas with as little as 0.43 rainfall. They spawn in average groups of 3 individuals. Technically, rams are the entity that is spawned and ewes and lambs are companions with the ram.

Behaviours

Like most animals, it’s a common sight to see the females staying close to the males and the young close to their mothers. You’ll typically find them wandering about, ignoring the player, and won’t act hostile unless provoked by attacking or getting too close (in the case of the Bighorn ram). The hostility also extends to the members of its group; that is, if a member of a herd close by is attacked, other members will also become aggressive. The hostility won’t last forever, though, since, if the sheep’s health gets too low (below 40%), it has an 85% chance to flee upon getting hit.

Domestication and Breeding

Basics

After being rounded up in a pen, Bighorn sheep can be fed using a large trough. These troughs can hold portions of dry grass or grains, and the sheep will consume either of them. The Bighorn ewes will need to have eaten at least 10 portions before they are willing to mate. After a pregnancy time of 20 days, ewes will bear one lamb at a time, chances for it to be male or female are 50/50. Lambs will take 336 hours to grow up, and the Ewes will need from 4 to 11 days break before they are ready to breed again. Note that male sheep (and sometimes the females) always attack players when in close range, but they will stop doing so after 10 generations of breeding.

Milking

After giving birth, ewes have a 21 day lactation period, when they can produce milk. If tooltips are enabled, a small sign over the sheep will indicate if it's lactating. The milk can either be consumed directly when taken from the bucket with a bowl, or used in a barrel to make cheese. Although ewes lactation doesn’t vary with generation, the milking process might vary:

Generation 0-2:

  • If you hold right click while carrying a bucket, you risk distressing the ewe, making it temporarily aggressive and interrupting the milking attempt. Exact chance for this to happen depends on generation:
    Generation Distress Chance
    0 95%
    1 66.6%
    2 33.3%

    The best way to complete the milking involves holding right click up until the ewe feels distresses enough to reject your bucket. At that point, you must release right click and wait a few seconds until the ewe relaxes itself (this can be checked by reading the tooltip). Repeat this process until the bucket stays long enough for you to properly milk the animal.

Generation 3 and above:

  • Ewes can be milked easily by just holding right click while holding a bucket.

Note:

  • Ewes cannot be milked every day, despite lactating. This can be checked by reading the tooltip.

Drops

Butcher the animal by right-clicking while crouching with a knife in the active hand to harvest its corpse.

An adult ram drops:

  • 10-16 raw redmeat
  • 1-2 raw hide (large)
  • 0-2 fat
  • 5 bones

An adult ewe drops:

  • 13-19 raw redmeat
  • 1-2 raw hide (large)
  • 0-2 fat
  • 5 bones

A baby lamb drops:

  • 0-1 raw redmeat
  • 0-1 raw hide (small)
