Sheep are gentle, domesticated animals known for their fluffy wool and calm demeanor. They are often found grazing in fields and are raised for their wool, meat, and milk. Sheep belong to the bovine family and are social creatures, usually living in groups called flocks. Their wool is sheared once a year, providing material for clothing and textiles. These animals are also important in agriculture, helping to maintain grasslands and providing natural fertilizer through their droppings. Different breeds of sheep exist, each with unique characteristics, such as the Merino known for its fine wool. Sheep have been part of human culture for thousands of years, symbolizing peace and prosperity.
