Day 523: OMG SHEEP

Day 523:

I got up this morning and went outside with the intention of bringing in my wheat crops. Instead I discovered a sheep, just hanging out as if it was the most natural thing in the world, right in my backyard.

A SHEEP.

THE THING I’VE BEEN HEADING WEST TO GET.

IN MY YARD.

So now I have sheep and I am breeding sheep and this is well and good and excellent!

And also I have too many cows.

So I spent the day (after capturing my new sheep!) culling some of my cow herd. I mean, the sheep need room  to graze too, and when you can’t swing a sword without hitting a cow (even without meaning to) that’s too many cows.

It means I have a lot of hide tanning in my future, and I think one of my lower caverns is about to become a refrigerator while I try to get some of the meat dried or processed into something i can use.

BUT SHEEP.

Now I have to figure out how to shear them.
