'''Sheep''' were quadruped [[mammal]]s found on [[Earth]] and domesticated by [[human]]s. They were raised mainly for [[meat]] (called mutton) and wool. An immature sheep was called a lamb, as was the meat from such young sheep. | '''Sheep''' were quadruped [[mammal]]s found on [[Earth]] and domesticated by [[human]]s.

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 (short story)|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 (novel)|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 (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]''). In [[1936]], [[Harry Sullivan]] was falsely accused of being a [[werewolf]] who attacked an [[English]] village's sheep population.
