1 male + 1 female = infinite mutton because of mutton farm
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.

What ARK players use the Ovis for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To all mid to end game players: if you're poor like me and don't have any veg cake and find one you can pick it up with a flyer such as a argi and drop it into a pen and use scissors to farm wool off a wild one, then just keep repeating until you do get cake :)
Tame a male and a female and breed them then get scissors
And then say goodbye to painstaking beaver genocides or chasing down megaloceros on foot, you now have an infinite wool farm!
Male Ovis can do a headbutt attack that gives Torpor damage. Have seen tamed ones on Val KO a Trike.
The ovis is the rarest thing, only rare cuz they always get eatan. Really, they usually spawn in about as much as a dilophasaurus.
The ovis only has one purpose to me, RESOURCES(my opinion)
I would suggest breeding them and only killing the offspring for mutton, as they are also useful for making fur armor.
tame plenty for their amazing wool and later kill them for lamb chops and tame huge carnivores with just one sheep and a hatchet
You can ride them without a saddle and if its a male you can use it to knock out creatures by headbutting which can deal 5 or more damage and will deal 3x the damage dealt as torpor instantly similar to pachys.
Tamed ovises also have an option in their creature menu that says…

Tamed ovises also have an option in their creature menu that says slaughter and if you press this button with a melee weapon equipped it will definitely not instantly kill it like the "kill" option in old ark mobile but instead totally give the ovis an effect that makes it deal +1000% more damage and have +1000% damage resistance that definitely lasts for 300 seconds.
Breed ovis kill baby harvest and you get raw mutton
Want mutton?
Don’t kill and harvest it, instead, hold a sword and hold the interact button (triangle for ps) and go to slaughter.
You will then get more mutton.
:)
when you find a fem and male ovis make a livestock out of them
Fun fact if u breed with the love misson on gen 2 u breed them non stop which mean more mutton
The female are not good only breeding makes are also great at gettin that thach
Just found one and put it in a box at blue ob, just surprised I even found one
They need to add mutton to the collection chart
Ovis with high hp and then adding hp or breeding the Ovis will give you tons more mutton
If you have male and female, you will never have to worry about getting mutton again. Usually found in snowy biomes but some in grassland areas around the center/island.
Keep veg. cakes on you at all times, since these things are rare. The tactic I use is to get multiples and breed them then kill a few when you plan on taming something like a Gig... BOOM instant OP taming tactics. Even though breeding takes a while it's worth it for that…

BOOM instant OP taming tactics. Even though breeding takes a while it's worth it for that sweet sweet lvl 46 gig. BTW taming one right now this makes a breeding pair of gigs so whoever sees me on their server I'd advise not messing with my base-- Finite
Great source of meat that dinos love to eat. Better than prime
