THEY EAT BERRIES AFTER TAME

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.— Smallfoot

Ovis can be hard to tame, but are invaluable once tamed, so here’s a guide to help you out with taming one

1. Ovis are a passive tame, so you won’t need any tranqs

Ovis only eat veggie cakes to tame, so prepare those, on single player you only need 1, on official you might need more.

2. On the island, Ovis usually spawn in or around the redwoods but there are other places. Since it tames really quick I would just tame it where you find it, unless there are immediate threats, and that way you won’t need an argy which can carry them. Once you tame it, if you don’t have an argy you can cryo it to take it to safety. Once it is tamed it will eat berries

Happy taming!

You find them (most often) up in the north biome, at the blue obelisk. As of now, they need to be born on a ceiling (One tile above where you want them), so they will not fall into the water under the map or other unaccessible places, warning, with this method they will still fall through the ceiling, but they will fall onto the foundation underneath, allowing you to claim them there. Another warning, The baby ovis needs to be claimed immediately, or else it will die of starvation, it will also have abnormally low weight, so be sure to feed it very often.

You only need one sweet veggie cake even for 150.

Bit weird but I found one in the southern isles on ASA, I had no idea they could spawn there, could be a bug but if you are on ASA and don’t want to go to the snow, the coordinates 78.8, 60.9 are where I found mine. A lot of raptors and carnos do spawn here though, so luck is still a factor. Hope this helps!

Before you tame it you can shear it which means you don't have to keep it to keep the wool. Also tame it with a sweet cake but then use berries to feed.

Pls pls do not kill them, they are so rare it took me 4 weeks to find ONE after I slaughtered 2. Tame them and breed it so much easier trust me

They die easily if you have an Argy pick it up and take it to a safer location
