Sheep
Sheep were first tamed by humans over 10 000 years ago. Sheep are primarily raised for their wool and meat. Sheep also produce milk. A male sheep is called a ram, whereas a female sheep is called an ewe. A young sheep is called a lamb. There are many different breeds of sheep in the world, with their own qualities and uses.
Sheep are ruminants, like cattle. They primarily eat grasses and plants, but they also enjoy tree bark and young tree saplings. This is why sheep can be used to take care of weeds and other unwanted plants. However, if sheep are kept in the same place for too long, they will quickly eat the whole area empty of all plant life.
Sheep meat is a popular ingredient in various stews and traditional foods. Sheep also produce wool, which can be used to create various items of clothing.
