How to get sheeps?

[SirRantsAlot]

I have house and pasture, a family and the skill sheep breeder but still no sheeps. What am I missing?

[KimBoK1985]

you need a livestock trading post to import sheeps... $30 each....

[Leeroy]

you need to buy the first sheep

I built a sheepfold and a pasture next to it, I bought three sheep that came to an animal dealer and I cannot take them from there to the sheepfold. The sheepfold workers shear them at the merchant's and take the wool to the sheepfold. How to move sheep from the trader to the fold?

Me I even did not got the sheeps although I ordered them (2).

it does not seem logical that sheep can breed only after researching the appropriate technology. also, it is not normal for sheep to give only wool. what about milk? it is logical that there should be another cheese factory building, where workers prepare cheese.

No my sheep facility (breeding) is deactivated and I have two sheeps at pastoral. But since I did not deactivate the facility two questions.
Why did this happen and how can I activate it again?

The whole stabling of livestock is very broken. You can't reassign animals to different stables, they just kind of get thrown where ever.

I more detailed explanation of what mules are used for would be great.

I see my tavern dudes using them pretty often.

Lets face it - there is nothing explained in this game at all.

Guys...you need money to buy sheep, oxen, chickens in houses, carrots in houses and goats in houses....

Start selling something at the trading post, for example firewood, boots, etc. Then earn money and buy sheep.
Set the limit at maybe 50...it costs 50 sheep x $30 = $1500

The Livestock Trading Post, once you have assigned a family, will automatically buy them up one by one and bring them to your pasture if you have enough money... so if you have $30, they will buy a sheep. then again and again until the limit of 50 sheep is reached.

If you don't remove the import and the limit of 50 sheep and a sheep dies, they will automatically buy the sheep.

You need to be very careful with buying stuff because its very expensive compared to selling stuff which is very cheap. So dont buy sheep, vegetables or apples etc unless you absolutely need them.

I bought lambs which were cheaper than sheep but they took all my money even just for 5 of them, then you have to wait till they grow which seems to take years .... and there is nothing to do with the wool in the early game anyway. Sheep only reproduce with a specific tech and even then you can used them for food that I've seen yet. So they are expensive and limited use at the start.

That is another funny thing. Where can I see my budget? I can only see what I own for myself (character). But I did not find out how to see the villages budget. Anyway as you said:
Nearly nothing is explained at all. And that is really annyoing. Things missing, bugs are ok for EA. But no explanation is a no go!
