The Sheep is a species of animal found in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Description[]

Merino Sheep are domesticated animals. They can be encountered in ranches. Valentine is famous for being a sheep-auctioning town, and Merino Sheep can be seen in large numbers in the town's sheep-pens. Occasionally, a shepherd can be encountered outside various settlements, herding Merino Sheep with their dog. Players should note that killing Merino Sheep will result in a loss of honor, as they are passive and docile. Killing Merino Sheep in ranches and towns will turn nearby ranchers and civilians hostile, and witnesses can report the killing as Animal Cruelty to local lawmen. Skinning Merino Sheep will yield Sheep Hides and Gristly Mutton.

A unique Merino Sheep with a pink ribbon can be encountered at Heartland Overflow.[1] The sheep can be seen travelling alone. Killing the sheep will result in a loss of honor. The player cannot skin the sheep, but they can loot a golden wedding ring from it. A near-identical sheep may be found dead in a pen at the nearby Guthrie Farm, next to a half-naked human corpse.

Tips[]

  • The player should use a rifle or a bow with regular arrows to obtain a clean kill. Shooting at the sheep's head or neck will result in a one-shot kill without lowering the pelt's or carcass' quality.
  • Given their slaughter is a crime, it is best to hunt Merino Sheep silently at night to avoid hostility or lawmen intervention. The player can lasso the sheep or use a bow to kill the sheep silently.
  • Merino Sheep never spawn in one-star quality.
