Bought sheep, they are in pasture but not at sheep farm

[craigroaring]

I bought some sheep and they are in the pasture i built but I don't know how to get them to the sheep farm. The sheep farm has workers assigned to it, but it says they are waiting. It is not winter either.

Sheep farmer should do whatever automatically.
Is your wool count going up?

No wool yet. Just remembered that i bought lambs, not sheep.

As long as the pasture is close to the sheep farms they should start working, albeit slowly. They won't mass produce wool, but it should trickle in. To relocate them, create the new pasture then delete the old one. It will take a long time for them to move over, but they will eventually.

And lambs take time to grow, workers won't shear them. Lambs are also invisible, so there is that.

Ok cheers, will check later for wool.

BS. One pasture with about 50 sheep in it, being worked by one sheepfarm with 3 families, will output so much wool that you'll need 2 fully manned weavers to keep up.

Well, that does assume one has 50 sheep.
Early game where maybe you've only bought 8-10 sheep at first, not going to be like that. :)
Also it can take awhile before it stockpiles up, assuming your weavers aren't using it all up.

But I have found that 15 sheep is fine for housing requirements needs for a fair time. You won't end up with oodles of excess wool, but you don't need it - unless you want to sell it ofc.
