Can I abandon my sheep?

[界安]

Now I have 3 sheep on my boat, but I don't need so many wool anymore. I've tried to reclaim the sheepfold but they still onboard, is it possible to abandon them?

I don't know of any way to get rid of a sheep once it boards (with the one exception during Alice's recruitment quest).

If you stick them in sheepfolds (one each) then you can ignore them completely - they'll get hungry, but they will stay locked up, so they won't attack your crops, and their wool not regrowing only matters if you actually want more wool.

In general, you can ignore most things and people on your boat, and the worst that happens is having to pay attention to that thing or person later when that or they turns out to be the bottleneck preventing further progress at that point.
