You’ve probably seen large herds of sheep roaming countryside hills. While farmers keep big flocks for wool, meat, or milk production, this isn’t the only reason for having more than one sheep.
Because you will need to plan on having at least three sheep (and ideally, more), you need to ensure you have enough space to keep them.
While size varies by breed, sheep can get large. Male sheep (rams) weigh 100-350 pounds, and female sheep (ewes) can be 100-220 pounds.
Sheep are known for their wool, but not all sheep have it! While 90 percent of the world’s sheep have wool, some sheep, called “hair sheep” do not.
Even if you have the land and commitment to keep a sheep as a pet, your city may not agree that sheep make good pets.
