Sheep
The sheep is not a good animal among all the others on the island to tame but once you tame it you could breed it and get wool and not just that you could kill some of the sheep you have breeded for muten, muten will be 10x more effective than the prefered kibble of the carnivore you are trying to tame. If I am wrong pease tell me but I am not done the wool from the sheep you have harvested or sheared may or may not be able to be used for making fur armour.

As a bonus you meat will not spoil with in 10 minutes but if in say a argie it would last 30 minutes so this new meat will not only replace kibble it would also replace prime meat but not cooked prime meat because cooked prim meat would last much longer. So by taming and breeding sheep you should have access to fur armour, muten and a extensive amount of wool you could use to trade for other players to make to go to the snow.

Yes, the wool of the sheep (and the hair you get cutting your own hair even!) is a complete subsitute for pelt, and can make fur armor no problem.
The mutton is roughly a kibble equivalent I would say, not strictly better. It can be faster, it can also give slightly lower results, but for sure given how much easier it is to get, it's great for carnivore taming.
Prime meat is an entirely different tier of taming though. If you play on default rates at least, it usually gives noticeably worse results. Only thing I've prime-tamed lately because mutton or kibble wasn't worth the extra levels it gave you, was a frog.

When taming with mutton though, big advice is to check a calculator like the Dododex, see how long your tame will take, then starve the tame until it can eat most or all of the mutton in one go. Keep your sheep alive until then, this way you won't have to worry about it spoiling.
You also get more mutton if the sheep has higher health, but a higher food stat gives more wool.

That's a thing?? So level your tamed sheep's for health to get more mutton out of them when slaughtered? Have to test this :)
