It seems that no matter what I do sheep never spawn in my world. At first I thought the close goblin camp was scaring all the sheep away, since those goblin chiefs seem to really love sheep. But after wiping out all the goblins still no sheep. I’m sheepless. I want some winter coats (yes i know i can buy them, but then why have a weaver).
Anyone else sans sheep?
Have you built a pasture?
funny enough, i never make a weaver anymore because of the shops…
Yup have two pastures. One made before I promoted the shepherd and one after. Nothing. 
strange, i started a game recently, and even though ive had tons o’ other bugs, i still get sheep.
Do you get enough sheep, cause if you don’t you will get cranky in the morning. Now go count those sheep
I have that bug too.
No sheep, the shepard is moving out “looking” for something but never finds a thing.
[9.256x64 too]
Hmm, can you guys post screenshots of your towns? The shepherd is supposed to find sheep at the edge of the explored region–and I’m wondering what that is for you 
@sdee: “the edge of the explored region”
That´s a hint for me! I do not have any unexplored region 
Edith says:
I waited and waited and did not press “defend” to recall the shepard (party-member “educated worker”, hiding in the basement) … he IS walking to the edge of the map (because I do not have fog of war) and getting a sheep.
Maybe you should think about another way to get sheep than to let the shepard walk to the edges
I´m going to find out what made my fog of war disappear.
Whoa! That’s… very weird. So the fog of war was just never there?
@sdee: it was there, but now it´s not anymore.
I did a lot of slicing to create my minecraft like quarys. I´m trying that method with a new savegame to look if I can redroduce the fog-of-war-disappearing.
Edith says: so far no way to reproduce, I´m trying my best.
I see now that I to do not have a fog of war.
I want to say I had it before but it is gone now.
I had an issue where my shepherd continuously idled or was looking for sheep but never found any. The mapped pasture location was on a nearby hill with ladder access. Once I moved the pasture behind my dining hall in the center of town sheep began to arrive almost immediately. Before that, I waited a good long while and the shepherd either idled or looked for sheep and never got any. I waited at least 15 minutes before finally moving the pasture location.
I have a saved game with this issue (no sheep or the shepherd won’t go looking for sheep) on alpha_10_5 10 x64 if you want it. If you want it send me a message.
I had this issue too. I figured out that if the pasture was on an elevated platform accessible only by bridge (4 wide) it wasn’t triggering the Shepard to search for sheep. I had to sort of place zones let him lead them there and then remove the zones at the right time to slowly lead the sheep over the bridge into my town which then seems to cause the Shepard to trigger and collect the sheep.
I don’t wall off/moat my towns currently so that doesn’t really fit my situation, but it gives me ideas to test. Screenshot of my current town.
So you can see I have a nice size pasture with a fence. So far I’ve tried 2 things.
Is it possible that there is an issue if you only have one pasture?
