SHEEP TEST - Farming Simulator 22

[@Gabbro83]

After bees, sheep are the easiest animal to keep. Always get them. Feed them Grass, then everything else becomes silage..... plenty busy being a Grass farmer. No time for that 'crop' stuff 😂

[@Smardars]

Just started doing sheep on a massive level on a new mod map, so this is great data for us, thanks!

[@hoodie5004]

Which map ?

[@Smardars]

@@hoodie5004 four fields. Has four massive fields on it.

[@hoodie5004]

@@Smardars how is that Map I’ve been thinking about trying it out !

[@Smardars]

@@hoodie5004 we like it, it has four farms in the corners of the map standard, pigs in the north east corner, cows in the south east corner, horses right near the vehicle shop in the south west corner and sheep in the north, north west corner. The farms can be deleted and you put your own in. Either another mod or the farms that come with the map. We use the 5000 sheep capacity mod. Has a lot of the usual sell points and services. Im probably not doing it a good service, i’m sure there is a mod map review on here for more info if you more interested.

[@hoodie5004]

@@Smardars sounds cool, yeah I’ve seen a map review of it and it looks really good BUT I don’t play with friends , NONE of my friends play or like FS22, so I play alone. And those fields look huge so I’m not sure if it’s best to play alone like it’ll be tooo much work, but who knows I may just try it out.

[@docholliday1811]

Thanks F.C., really informational. I may have to give sheep a try.

[@ptaf92]

Yay sheep test! Been looking forward to this 🎉 thank you

[@nunosantos00]

Very easy to have,we only need grass or hay and it's fine and i get water from ponds😂 Wool is a good product. You can buy a male and a female still babies wich is cheaper and wait for them to reproduce and you will see as they get older their value increases. You can sell your oldest sheep if you have them at a price that's not increasing anymore and the youngest should be able to reproduce and avoid the tax if you have a trailer to get them to the animal dealer.

Farmer cop always on point, thanks brother

[@Guser0]

Thanks, Farmer Cop. Very interesting and informative, as always. Keep it up!

[@El025Shadow]

Would it be better to leave the sheep past the 37 weeks if you are maxing production? every 17 month growth to max wool production has a lost wool production of 415 L per sheep (17 weeks of 42=714 -299 0-17 wool production), which if i did my math right would be a lost potential of $9900 in clothing for that 415 L. Another thing to factor would be that the barn would need to be half full to leave room for the newborns, halving the potential production unless you keep building new barns every breeding cycle and move half the herd. It makes sense in my head, am I off base?

[@FarmerCop]

Yea if your focus is on wool only it would be best to just hold on to them so wool production never dips

[@sigurhel]

Better question would be. Which is more profit: keep forever or sell at 37 months. In the latter case you would get a dip in wool production, but you get money for the sheep. I think many, including me, are thinking about a scenario like .. buy 10 sheep, let them reproduce and fill the pasture with young ones. The when the oldest sheep in the pasture get to 37 months, is it more profit to sell them while the others continue on breeding and wool producing, or keep them.@@FarmerCop

[@ptaf92]

Ok you got me scared for a moment 😅 good to see for once I’ve been doing things correctly from the start. Interesting they sell at the same age as cows, 37 months old. Good to know!

[@chrisjones6002]

I just started on Silverrun, maybe I'll buy a field and have some sheep. They seem like a good combination between ease of case and profit.

[@HeathensTruckingLLC]

Billion dollar sheep farm here we come 😂

[@Jones7854]

If I have both cows and sheep I often feed the sheep hay to simplify logistics since I need the hay to make TMR for the cows

[@FarmerCop]

And you eill still make plenty of money doing that, ive donr that before too, it does help make it simpler if you need hay else where

[@bryanmason76]

Is there a production difference in the types of sheep?

[@FarmerCop]

Nope

[@alexeizaraiov]

FYI 3 spinneries produce the exact amount of fabric for 2 tailor shops (considering they have enough wool to produce the entire time)

[@FarmerCop]

Correct but it still takes 4 wool to make 1 clothes as the ratio

[@melparrishjr]

The only problem I see with selling your adult sheep is that you are selling your money makers and then you have only your baby sheep left who don't produce anything at all. But if you sell your baby sheep instead, and keep all the adults, then you'll be making money everyday selling the wool and your offspring. You'll always have your wool producing sheep at max capacity! Which means everyday is a payday and not just the days when you sell them instead of their offspring. But of course, once the pen reaches max pop there won't be anymore offspring! Nearing max pop is when to sell the kids.

[@minineji3632]

I bought the big sheep pen and gave them grass, but it also said I could give them silage (50% efficiency each) but the health of the sheep wasn't increasing (they didn't breed nor produce wool), I only gave them grass for food, do they added silage as an option for feeding the sheep or a mod is doing some weird stuff and bugged my sheeps lol?

[@FarmerCop]

Some mods and some maps (modded maps) change the animal feed options, the results of this test will only work if the ratios and food types are what you saw in my test

[@minineji3632]

@@FarmerCop I do am playing on a modded map, and also had some sheep mods but I uninstalled those and kept just the modded map, I'll re try it on an original map, thanks!

[@jamespugh]

So bees and sheep look the easiest to have. I been sell my grass and know i been doing lot hay contract and selling it. Replant few my grain feilds with grass between growing of grain crops . Got other run soybeans bc i bought planted.

[@caneofky]

You said it was best to sell sheep at 37 months, what would max ages be for the other animals cows pigs and chickens. new subscriber i am enjoying your videos

[@FarmerCop]

I have a video out on all those animals already similiar to this one :)

[@caneofky]

@@FarmerCop I found them all. Thank you this will definetely help me out

Can you test milk cows too pls

[@DukeDudeston]

He has done Cows. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGnantpmL2fm6csi=-TRoKsIl_Z5IEvgK

[@themikreb]

he already did a cow test video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGnantpmL2fm6c

[@steveaustin4118]

just put down sheep and there's only silage or hay as a food option

[@FarmerCop]

That is going to be because of the map you are on, some map makers modify the food requirements
