Lamb growth time?

[Samobear]

How long does it take for a lamb to turn into a sheep? Or what is the use of lamb?

[m.]

Just buy sheep.

You need to learn the Skill first

[PrinceNic]

So I can buy lambs, but they will never grow into sheep without the sheep breeding skill?

I wanted to buy lambs, let them grow, then sell the sheep without the skill, and pocket the difference.

This is not an option? Seems illogical.

if you unlock the breeding skill you'll get lambs if you have sheeps in your pasture, sheeps will reproduce and then you'll get lambs that you can sell but they never grow older

Are you sure?
That would explain a few things... Like why my pondering 'When do these lambs grow up' was getting answered with a generic, useless 'Yes'.
Cause if they don't, hah, that explains it.

Edit.... Cause, as far as I know that development was just for making sheeps make babies. I haven't really messed with it, or dug into the sheeps that much yet, so I don't know things.

My lambs never grew up at all. I didn't want to waste the point so I got tired of waiting and sold them back. It shouldn't take a "perk" for a lamb to grow into a sheep. WTF?

can you slaughter lamb/sheep for food?

It seems that way because you have the option in at the butcher

I have purchased lambs in 0.7.975 and they did eventually grow into sheep, even without the breeding perk, but it took for-♥♥♥♥♥♥-ever.

yes they grow the breeding skill just allows us to buy sheep and they will breed and make more lambs that then grow into sheep.

It doesn't

[WeißerWolf]

This is actually quite annoying and illogical, why we have to waste a development point on sheep to reproduce - as if they would *only* do that if you are the master sheep breeder

It would be a lot better if the development point merely sped up the breeding process rather than enabled it

[GunRunner89X]

You don't need the development point for purchased lambs - they will grow up. But none of your sheep will breed unless you have said point - which makes no sense at all IMHO.
