So, you’ve invested in livestock and got your hands on sheep, though now you’re looking to cut down on the effort involved and let your sheep do all the hard work themselves. However, it’s surprisingly tricky to find out how to breed sheep in Manor Lords so you can have some cute little lambs running around too.
With how useful sheep can be to your village in Manor Lords, from extra food (especially during the brutal winters where Manor Lords’ foot types are more limited) to wool for trade and crafting. Fear not though, as I’ve raised a sheep army. So, here’s all you need to know about the Manor Lords sheep breeding process.
How to Breed Sheep in Manor Lords
To breed sheep in Manor Lords, you first need to unlock the Sheepbreeding upgrade from the Farming skill tree, before then having at least two sheep in a single pasture. This process takes several months to complete, which has resulted in a lot of confusion around sheep not breeding.
As long as you have two sheep in a pasture and the correct skill unlocked, you’re good to go. Once your sheep have finished breeding, you’ll have a lamb. As you’d expect, lambs cannot breed. However, lambs will naturally grow and turn into fully grown sheep. Likewise, lambs can’t be sheared like sheep. This means that once you’ve got a lamb, you’re playing the waiting game until they grow into a sheep and begin to provide additional wool for your settlement.
How to Get Sheep in Manor Lords
To get sheep in Manor Lords, you need to buy them from the Livestock Trading Post for 30 Regional Wealth each. However, you will also need to have a Sheep Farm and a Pasture before you can benefit from sheep.
Given you can initially only get sheep by purchasing them, it’s a good idea to get at least two sheep so that you can start breeding them to save you money in the long run. However, I recommend purchasing four sheep to start with if you can afford to, as breeding sheep is a costly and time-consuming venture.
Now you know how to breed sheep in Manor Lords, you’ll soon have a bustling settlement thanks to all the wool at your fingertips. Turn this wool into yarn at the Weaver’s Workshop, you’ll be able to make all manner of clothes and cloaks at the Tailor’s Workshop.
