Find a sheep board for information.

cant you just buy a lamb to show?
sheep can be tricky to raise. for one, they dont have a lot of heart. if they get a cold, they die. they arent the sharpest tools in the shed either. ex: "Hello Mr. Doggie! will you be my friend?" they die. They get worms easily, they die. you may have noticed a pattern here. plus they graze pastures down to nothing.

Go here if you havent yet.
