Adult female sheep are called ewes. Adult male sheep are called rams. A group of sheep is known as a herd, flock or mob. Young sheep are called lambs.
Sheep have a field of vision of around 300 degrees, allowing them to see behind themselves without having to turn their head. Sheep are herbivores that mostly eat grass. Sheep like to stay close to other sheep in a herd. Farmers take care of sheep, though kill them for the meat. Even though you think they also kill them for the wool, some farmers don't. They easily shave it off with shears without harming it. If I was a farmer, and I had a sheep, I would shave its wool to make a blanket with, if I didn't have one, and let it free. Some people guide sheep to home and give people sheep for wool and meat. If one of the sheep go out of line, a sheep dog will chase it back in the line. Sheep have very good memories. They can remember at least 50 sheep and humans for years without forgetting. The meat of sheep is widely eaten by people across the world. Ashleigh
