At least one sheep actually came to inhabit [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] — however briefly. In [[BC#Prehistory|3300 BC]], a wounded sheep entered the ship, where it gave birth to its lamb. The [[Second Doctor]] left to find the sheep's owner, but when he returned he found the sheep and lamb brutally slaughtered.

Some [[companion]]s had at least some level of knowledge about sheep herding. According to one account, which may have been a dream, [[Jamie McCrimmon]] stopped travelling with the Second Doctor to become a [[shepherd]] in [[Yorkshire]] after [[Zoe Heriot]] went into a [[coma]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dream a Little Dream for Me]]'') [[Dog]]s were integral to sheep herding. In fact, [[Peri Brown]] once noticed a herd of sheep running down a [[dog]] on the island of [[Dorsill]], which made her think that something was amiss on the island.

The disappearance or death of sheep was often an indicator of much bigger trouble. The [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] initially went to the town around the [[Graystairs]] [[Alzheimer's disease]] treatment centre to investigate sheep disappearances. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Relative Dementias]]'') On another occasion, in the [[Welsh]] village of [[Llanfer Ceiriog]], they saw a sheep being taken by a [[wolf]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]''). In [[1936]], [[Harry Sullivan]] was falsely accused of being a [[werewolf]] who attacked an [[English]] village's sheep population.

In the [[21st century]], [[Ianto Jones]] and [[Jack Harkness]] encountered a dead sheep close to the village of [[Monknash]]. It was remarkable because it was completely devoid of insects. Indeed, it was perfectly undisturbed by any scavengers. Having broken free of the normal cycle of death and decay, the sheep was a clear sign of problems yet to be uncovered in [[Wales]].

Sheep were [[herbivore]]s. They had different [[teeth]]. They had [[incisor]]s, which were used for cutting up food. Their [[molar]]s were used for grinding up food which the sheep used for chewing grass. Their [[pre-molar]]s were also used for chewing food. Sheep ate vegatables.
