What is sheep?

A sheep is a friendly animal that lives on farms and likes to graze in big groups.

What Sheep Look Like

Sheep have fluffy white or brown coats, soft wool that they grow all over their body, and they usually have two horns on top of their head. They move slowly and gently, like when you walk through the park with your favorite toy.

What Sheep Do All Day

Sheep spend most of their day eating grass in a field, just like how you eat snacks during recess. When it's time to rest, they lie down together in a group, kind of like how you and your friends all snuggle up on the floor during naptime.

Why We Like Sheep

People take care of sheep because their wool can be made into warm clothes or blankets, and some farms even let kids pet them! Sheep are calm, friendly, and always ready for a good grazing adventure.
