Sheep (Ovis aries) are quadrupedal, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name "sheep" applies to many species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep.
Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones. Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today, and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science.
Sheep husbandry is practised throughout the majority of the inhabited world, and has been fundamental to many civilizations. In the modern era, Australia, New Zealand, the southern and central South American nations, and the British Isles are most closely associated with sheep production.
Sheep-raising has a large lexicon of unique terms which vary considerably by region and dialect. Use of the word sheep began in Middle English as a derivation of the Old English word scēap; it is both the singular and plural name for the animal. A group of sheep is called a flock, herd or mob. Adult female sheep are referred to as ewes, intact males as rams or occasionally tups, castrated males as wethers, and younger sheep as lambs. Many other specific terms for the various life stages of sheep exist, generally related to lambing, shearing, and age.
Being a key animal in the history of farming, sheep have a deeply entrenched place in human culture, and find representation in much modern language and symbology. As livestock, sheep are most-often associated with pastoral, Arcadian imagery. Sheep figure in many mythologies—such as the Golden Fleece—and major religions, especially the Abrahamic traditions. In both ancient and modern religious ritual, sheep are used as sacrificial animals.

Just turn off the collision box, then we get the best of both worlds. In fact, add them to the ground clutter, with flocks replacing hedgerows on occasion.

SOMEONE TELL ME WHY THE SHEEP JOKES!!!
sheep jokes have been around since the aw days where there was sheep on the fields, reason for that is lots of airfields in ww2 had sheep on them to keep the grass short for landing and take off. the thing i remember most about ah was the night when only like 15 players were on and we had a discussion over the proper way to take a sheep out on a date. that lasted for like 2 hours. was funny as hell. all the way from which attire to wear (no wool) to the kind of restaurant.

I get tigers flipped by bushes I can't tell difference from, trees, hills, wheel carts, barns (ones you supposably can enter), hell half the time its those little tiny hills you can't tell which direction the hill is so when you plow over it thinking you are going straight up on it then find out oops.
What difference if we have a few sheep? People can at least SEE the sheep.
I say throw a few sheep inside the barn and charge 1 perk to enter.

Hell ya! And if ya don't pay the sheep with the rocket pod will shoot PB1 rockets at you :x
