End game being eat them after you flock them?
Sheep used to be a real life thing in WKS and alot of other places but then some smart people invented synthetic fibers and no one needed wool anymore. From my limited research the meat you can get from sheep is not really worth it by itself so you would need to shear the sheep for wool which is a pain in the ass and labor intensive which is why BEEF is now the dominant bovine in most of the US.
My dad did mention they had a small herd of sheep at the cat ranch back in the 70's but the only reason I remember that is because he said they always got some nasty parasites/worms that you would pull out through their nostrils.
i'm maybe going to get some sheep to try my hand at hobbying. got to figure out how to take care of sheep real fast.
You hobbying in Kansas?
