Found one in the southern most area of the redwoods (past swamp) being chased by two hyenas. Killed them all with my wyvern. No hyena is taking mutton from me.
Ovis
The ovis is a sheep-like creature that many survivors find useful in farming. It can be found in the grasslands. While rare, it can be tamed simply by feeding it one Sweet Vegetable Cake. This sheep can be sheered with Scissors to obtain Wool, or killed to obtain Mutton. While the ovis can be mounted, it is not an ideal mount for transport and provides very little use once mounted, other than its ability to climb up steep inclines.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Ovis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Lately I've had trouble harvesting mutton from baby Ovis.
Step 1. Buy Ovis from biggest tribe
Step 2. Shear ovis
Step 3. Make fur armor
Step 4/5. Go to north and tame more ovises, for infinite mutton, which you can use to tame carnivores faster than any other meat.
Lambchops killed with edward scissor hands yields prime meat as well as mutton.
There’s a lot in the snow part of the map.. they are usually already getting mutilated by a Dino though.
I pretty sure you can ride these sheep once tamed but I could be wrong
On Consoles (Xbox and PS) they give tons of mutton.
Just killed two, one dropped two mutton, the other zero. This is on Xbox official with 2x lol. Thanks for the “fix”!
Tame a breed them then kill babies for a mutton farm
For the Island it’s really frustrating to find them, but if you look on the right island of the arctic region there should be some
When ever you one of these little guys tame it with vegetable cake don't kill it you can later kill it and use the raw muttons to tame a carnivore it's basically like kibble good luck
So either get really lucky and find one spawned near no meat eaters or prepare to go hunting, I've come across a few at the obelisks now, have an argy as a spotter and a carrier after the tame and someone on the ground to clear nearby carnovaurs, also have some sweet vedgy…
So either get really lucky and find one spawned near no meat eaters or prepare to go hunting, I've come across a few at the obelisks now, have an argy as a spotter and a carrier after the tame and someone on the ground to clear nearby carnovaurs, also have some sweet vedgy cake already made, getting Ovis is time consuming, also keep the high levels to breed, the low level babies die, out of 4 baby ovis we had 2 survive when breeding, their health levels are very erratic and the higher the level the better, the longer you keep the Ovisthe higher the levels will go, if you need mutton kill your low level males off
Found a lot of mine near the river that separates the 2 snow Mts. Also found some on the blue obby MT about half way up
I've seen them the most during blizzards and mornings... around 6-10 is when I see them the most... they also spawn more in The Island than The Center
They usually spawn in the snow biome
They spawn on the sw islands of ragnorok and are of course a rare spawn but sometimes spawn when you need them
I suggest using an argy to trap them somewhere until you need to tame something and when you do need to tame something

This thing is AMAZING for getting pelt,raw mutton, and hide. You will never starve again!!
Good for mutton!!!!!!!!!!!
And farming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like prime meats, raw mutton dosnt stack bit the cooked lamb chops do. Keep in mind that if the dino likes mutton, the cooked stuff is still going to be very effective and the cooked stuff will last much longer too. Just be careful if you put cooked mutton in a preserving…
Just like prime meats, raw mutton dosnt stack bit the cooked lamb chops do. Keep in mind that if the dino likes mutton, the cooked stuff is still going to be very effective and the cooked stuff will last much longer too. Just be careful if you put cooked mutton in a preserving bin with oil because it will become prime jerky. Actually many people don't realize that prime fish also becomes prime jerky, and cooked fish becomes normal jerky. DONT let that tasty sheep meat go to waste. For thoes who live closer to the coast, pretty much all of the sheep spawn locations are inland and kinda scattered in the south. But the sheep are highly concentrated in the snow biome and on top of a mountain in the redwoods. If you play ragnarock, if you spawn in the highlands you WILL see sheep at some point. In the highlands their spawn chance is the same as a moschops, but they will spawn in herds. Also there is a sheep with 4 horns like the ovis in real life that lives today, it's called a Jacob sheep, they have 4 long horns just like the ovis. For some reason the ovis is not in mobile, and I think I know why. Mobile has microtransactions that allow you to by soothing balm and other items that speeds up taming, and mutton is specifically used to speed up carnivore taming. I'm not completely sure if this was the case, but it definitely makes sense. The second theory I have is that if you have the ovis you need the shears, and mobile dosnt include any player or creature painting, and hair cuts are selected on character creation, so it's quite possible that the ovis wasn't included due to the absence of that.
This has been another excessively long review by SloppyCrow
Always have one female and one male so you can breed for infinite mutton, cryo pod the babies for access anywhere
