Description

Merino Sheep are domesticated animals. They can be encountered in ranches. Valentine is famous for being a sheep-auctioning town, and Merino Sheep can be seen in large numbers in the town's sheep-pens. Occasionally, a shepherd can be encountered outside Horseshoe Overlook, herding Merino Sheep with their dog. Players should note that killing Merino Sheep will result in a loss of honor, as they are passive domesticated animals. Killing Merino Sheep in ranches and towns will turn nearby ranchers and civilians hostile, and witnesses can report the killing as Animal Cruelty to local lawmen. Skinning Merino Sheep will yield Sheep Hides and Gristly Mutton.

A unique black Merino Sheep with a pink ribbon can be encountered at Heartland Overflow.[1] The sheep can be seen travelling alone. Killing the sheep will result in a loss of honor. The player cannot skin the sheep, but they can loot a golden wedding ring from it. The same sheep can be found dead in a pen in Guthrie Farm, next to a half-naked human corpse.

Location

New Hanover
- Valentine
- Emerald Ranch
- Downes Ranch

Tips

Wild sheep will run away once they spot the player. It is best to hunt them at a long distance.
The player should use a rifle or a bow with regular arrows to obtain a clean kill. Shooting at the sheep's head or neck will result in a one-shot kill without lowering the pelt's or carcass' quality.
Killing Merino Sheep will often turn nearby civilians and ranchers hostile. Witnesses can report the crime as Animal Cruelty. It is best to hunt Merino Sheep silently at night to avoid hostility or lawmen intervention. The player can lasso the sheep or use a bow to kill the sheep silently.
Merino Sheep never spawn in one-star quality.
