What is a Sheep?
Sheep are gentle animals that live on farms or grassy fields and are raised for their wool, milk, and meat. They are covered in thick, fluffy fleece that keeps them warm in cold weather. Sheep usually weigh between 100 and 200 pounds and can live for 10 to 12 years. They eat mostly grass and plants, and they like to stay in groups called flocks. Sheep are known for their 'baaa' sound and their peaceful nature. Some have curved horns, and baby sheep are called lambs. People have raised sheep for thousands of years, and they are found all over the world, especially in places with big green fields and mild climates.
