How to get Sheep and a Sheep Farm in Manor Lords
Sheep inManor Lordsare not a resource to be found on the map like Iron or Clay. Instead, you must purchase Sheep from travelling merchants. To do this, construct a Livestock Trading Post out of 2 Timber. Be aware that this is a different building from the regular Trading Post. You can’t import Sheep, Oxen, or any other form of livestock in a regular Trading Post!
So, when should you buy your first Sheep, and how many should you buy? Each Sheep costs 30Regional Wealth, so you’ll need to have enough wealth to afford them first and foremost. There’s also little point in purchasing Sheep until you’ve built a Sheep Farm. Thankfully, a Sheep Farm only costs 1 Timber to make.
You should also create a Pasture next to your Sheep Farm. Pastures are flexible plots just like Burgage Plots, so you can create them at any size you like. The larger the Pasture, the more animals you can keep inside without them escaping. We’d recommend purchasing 4-8 Sheep at first via the Livestock Trading Post. Remember also to assign a family to work on the Sheep Farm so you can actually gain Wool from the Sheep, but be aware that shearing Sheep is forbidden during the Winter.

After that, you can turn your Wool into Yarn at a Weaver Workshop, which is found in the Industry tab of the Construction menu, and can be made from 4 Timber. Yarn is one of the three materials that can fulfil Level 1 of the Clothing Stall Supply requirement at a Burgage Plot (the others being Linen and Leather).
That wraps up this quick guide on how to get Sheep and how to start using their Wool to create Cloaks for your populace during the Winter. While you’re here, why not check out our other guides onhow to make Ale,how to get more Influence, and thebest starting scenarioto pick for new players.
