I just read the wiki about it. Basically you build a farm house with at least 5 sections of fence and it acts like an animal pen for sheep and stuff that you trap. That should let you do two things:

1. shear the sheep periodically to get wool without having to kill the sheep
2. mate the animals to produce more of what you need.

There is a technology that lets you build several kinds of trap. Most are for monsters, but one is for animals. You make some and place them where the animals are walking around and if they walk onto it, they should get trapped and you can either kill them or keep them for your farm.

I like to level the terrain in all directions and lay down dozens and dozens of wooden traps. They kill monsters and animals alike and they kill them by the dozen. By the end of my last game I had about 80 wool about 300 steaks and about 160 eggs and hundreds and hundreds of feathers. And I didn't even have to hunt.

Just lay down lots and lots of traps and replace them when they get used up.

Hey pal, if you have Ears of Wheat in your inventory you can craft them into Grain. To do this put one in the crafting table and seect the craft button. This will turn it into 2 Grains.

To play at speed 2 click on the circular time button thats on the top right hand side.

You can have either 2 farms ... one for sheep-type and one for chicken-type.
You only need put 1 animal in the farm, and it will multiple over time. Chicken-type multiple very quickly. Once the farm is full, you can start killing chickens every so often, since they replenish very quickly. With the sheep, you can shear them, but once they get full, I start killing them off as well. Means more meat and wool.

The first traps you get are just for killing. It mentions animals but it will kill the animal. Later, you will get the traps which can safely trap some animals and then put them in a farm house. At that time, when you click on the trapped animal, you will get an option of moving the animal to a farm.

You only need 5 farm fence sections for a farm house, but I found that 5 was too few for my liking. For one, the sheep tend to be on top of each other, so you don't really get to shear 5 sheep.

As a result, I went with 7-10 fence panels, which will give up to 7-10 sheep. In that case, I shear 3-5 sheep at any time when their fleece is ready, and it feels like it's more useful for me in that way. I still kill the wild sheep for their wool and meat.

Chickens do reproduce quickly so every now and then, I will reduce their number back down to 3-5 so that they can continue laying eggs also.

Clay is easy enough to make. Get water and dirt and craft the clay. I usually take water from any of the ponds on the map (since I don't fish all the time). Selecting to take water that way means that the dwarf pretty much keeps making buckets of water until the pond is almost dry. Compare that to taking from the ground after it rains, where you may get 1 bucket and then have to select another sliver of water on the next tile.

Is it possible to catch the pigs? Also, how do you make sure the animals go to separate farms instead of all ending up mixed in one farm?
